“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe
Sorry, this feeds into the myth that government is inherently bad. It is only bad when it is run by people who are corrupt or unwilling to admit that they don’t know everything.
“In this department we always lie. So, are we lying when we say that? We’ll let that paradox occupy your mind while we get up to some other sleazy stuff.”

Originally the steps were built because the pile of fertilizer was already too high to see over. They had to add on more steps with each new congress.
