I think part of the current problem is that "everyone" elected a bunch of "do somethings" with what seems to be low collective civic education, way too many sledgehammers, and "new" economic ideas like retrying the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act near to its Centennial Anniversary (and to certain other related key anniversaries of the Great Depression).
