I'd settle for one good guy.
What has Congress done for industrial and technological policy over the last 5-6 years? They deregulated energy and telecom, both disasters. Now they want to tackle DRM and IP, fresh from rousing successes like the DMCA which has been used to throw researchers into jail and has prevented companies from being able to describe their security patches. Meanwhile they haven't done anything about global warming and decreasing our dependence on oil, and the number of TLA (three letter acronym) think tanks in the beltway grows without limit.
