Seems to me that looking up the record of resolutions and bills in congress and discussing them is something we (as a nation) could use a great deal more of.
It isn't as if Sub has to devote an inordinate amount of time to finding things like this, either. He's probably subscribed to newsletters, and it isn't difficult to look up congressional records. It might take twenty minutes to find this kind of information every day if you do it right. I waste more time than that just sailing out of Lorient every day.
