The Beltway Bubble

Interstate 495 is a highway that encircles the Washington D.C. metropolitan area called the Capitol Beltway. To the rest of the country, it is the Washington Beltway because it centers on our national seat of government and includes the residences of the majority of the people that work for the federal government and those trying to influence the federal bureaucracy. The Beltway also encompasses the three richest counties in America. In the last 100 hundred years the area encompassed by the Washington Beltway has morphed into a virtual bubble, which no longer represents the morals and values of the rest of the United States of America.
