Well nice to know our tax dollars are being well spent.
It's the government. :) Of course it's an inefficient waste of money and time. :)
Wonder if I wrote to Mike Honda and just asked him what the logic was behind all this if I'd get something more than a canned response..hmm...
I dunno. I've written a gaggle of letters to congresscritters over the years. The most honest one I ever got was from the late Joe Moakley, after the travesty that was the Communications Decency Act. In as many words, the response read, "This was asstastic legislation that I oppose, but it was packaged with a lot of other stuff that I support, and so I didn't have a lot of choice but to hold my nose and vote yea."
On the other hand, I get a lot of very gaseous responses back from the Gun Control Gals, Feinsten and Boxer, whenever I write them to protest their latest bit of foolishness.

So I think it's a crapshoot.
