Column argues Congress's chaotic behavior is rational within the system
Original: In our current system, Congress’s crazy behavior is actually rational
Commentary carried by The Washington Post, The Hill and the American Enterprise Institute argues that Congress's seemingly irrational conduct is actually rational given the incentives of the current political system. The piece contends that lawmakers' behavior follows logically from electoral and institutional pressures, suggesting the problem lies with the system's design rather than individual politicians. It is drawing attention across both liberal and conservative-leaning outlets.
Why now: The argument is being widely republished and debated amid ongoing frustration with congressional dysfunction.
