I can't say I agree with the downvote, but I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion about the Senate. I would be completely happy with never voting for a senator ever again to put the voices of the 50 state governments back in Congress (the way it was intended)! The out-of-control spending and abuse of the Constitution really took off after the State's Government's input at the Federal level was completely removed. The House is supposed to be our voice, and the Senate is supposed to be the State's.
