Myself, as when I point my index finger at something/someone, three fingers keep pointing back at myself.

Honestly, their software should be able to say WHAT when a parcel is mis-routed, and throw up a red flag on their little scanner wand. Because when that box hit Rock Springs, I knew a storm was a-brewin' and could have save them a day or two.

The 1995 Balanced Budget Act was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 52 to 47. The 2001 Bush Tax Cut was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 58 to 33. The 2003 Bush Tax Cut was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 50 to 50, with Dick Cheney casting the tie-breaking vote. The 2005 Deficit Reduction Act was also passed in reconciliation with a 50 to 50 vote and a Cheney intervention. The 2006 Tax Relief Extensions Act was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 54 to 44. This is as you'd expect: If bills had overwhelming bipartisan majorities, they wouldn't need to go through reconciliation. As it happens, Republicans controlled the Senate during each and every one of these bills. And they got less votes than Democrats will likely get for the health-care fixes. It's also worth reminding people that it's harder for Democrats to get Republican votes because voters elected a lot more Democrats in the past two elections. Republicans had a number of moderate Democrats who could be brought into a 58-vote majority, and Democrats don't have as many moderate Republicans who can do the same.

The wants and desires of the "royals" (in other words, elected officials, using your example) outweighs the will of the people quite often. If you expand the "royals" to be the true royals in our modern-day nation (the super-rich and the large companies), then I'd say that their will almost always outweighs the will of the people. How many were for the tax cuts that were historically given to the nation's richest 1%? Probably only those 1%.
