Nothing is more annoying in public policy than people who complain, but don’t offer solutions.
The U.S. Senate effectively has 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats. Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote giving the Democrats an ever so slight edge.
So, what complaint do we hear expressed continually on social media? That the Senate doesn’t equally represent the American people.
That’s certainly true. But, then again, it never was supposed to.
Half of the nation’s people have 18 senators representing them. On the other hand, there are 52 senators from the 26 smallest states, where just 18% of Americans live.
