Well if you watch C-SPAN on the days were intelligence is required when they have a intellectual in front of their committee such as the Fed Chairperson. Your correct about 40-50% of the Congress people are complete idiots and the discussion is going over their heads. You can tell it from the questions they ask they do not even understand basic monetary policy. It's a big reason why we had the last financial crises which was instigated by a law Congress passed but didn't understand about the sale of derivatives. Then when that system fell apart they pretended they were hoodwinked or tricked in someway. When they just did not have a clue. The good news is though about 40-50% of the Congress is fairly intelligent and carrying the dead weight of the other dumb ones in office as best they can.
