The time to fix it is *before* it's passed, not after.

You're clearly not a politician.

- Politician A gets to pass broken legislation now and get credit for "Fixing the Status Quo".

- Years later, Politician B gets to fix the broken legislation and get credit for "Fixing the Status Quo". Of course, this fix is even more broken than the original.

- For extra credit, Politician A and B are the same person, but none of the voters remember that he's been responsible for the mess all along.
