The other day, The Monkey Cage featured a post called “Why Does Congress Flail? Voters Reward Positions More than Success.” As the title implies, the premise of the post was that the US Congress has been relatively ineffective in passing major legislation of late because its members know that their jobs depend, not on passing [...]
