46. I would guess because we're just getting tired of all the money scandals.

It's a constant barrage, with mind-numbing figures and technical details that make the uninitiated head spin. No doubt that was the plan to begin with. But at some point, the outrage plateaus. We all know we need to throw the bums out. We don't need further confirmation of this.
