'The game is rigged:' Matt Damon says he's done with Washington politics | the game is rigged & no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn't matter.'

Matt Damon says he's giving up on politics.... he feels 'the fix is in, the game is rigged and no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn't matter.'
Damon bemoaned the state of Washington as he completes a media circuit for the release of his new movie, 'Promised Land' which - coincidentally - deals with the high politicized issue of fracking, or drilling for natural gas. 

Damon said he lost hope that the movie might have some impact in Washington.
'We're at a point where politicians don't really get any benefit from engaging with long-term issues,' he said, according to Politico. 'Instead, it's all about the next election cycle. Those guys in the House don't do anything now but run for office. So unless they can find some little thing that zips them up a couple of points in the polls, they're not interested.'
