The legislators weren't trying to do something for the deserving 18 year olds, they were helping out a big contributor that wanted to keep drawing from a cheap labor pool. Same outcome, but it's not nearly as comforting to know why they really did it.

I suppsoe they're transformed into dangerous idiots when they return here--in the estimation of officialdom.
