LETTER to the EDITOR-- MINNEAPOLIS STAR

TRIBUNE

Let's look at what we have learned from this

election: Twenty-one of 22 incumbent senators were re-elected, and 353 of

373 incumbent members of the House were re-elected. The American people

have re-elected 94 percent of the incumbents who were running for

re-election to an institution that has an approval rating of about 9

percent. This indicates, as an electorate, we are a nation of idiots.

We're now stuck with the useless, dysfunctional government that we

deserve.
