Different parties, same corruption. The Washington fat cats and their cronies take turns blasting one another for public consumption, for the folks back home and then go play a few rounds of golf at their exclusive club and devise new ways to rob us all.
There are answers of course, ways to greatly reduce, if not completely eliminate the corruption. Things like term limits, let's say two 4 four year terms for president; one 6 year term for senator and 2 or 3 two year terms for congressmen. And, let's have full disclosure of :
Financial records
Medical records
Educational records
(goes for spouses as well)
If elected, all assets go into a blind trust and upon leaving office, all financial records are again revealed.
all of the above also applies to all cabinet members and presidential appointments.
While I'm at it, judges cannot reverse any thing resulting from a popular election unless they can point out in the constitution exactly where the issue in question is clearly forbidden.
But, I am deluded. I forget reality at times...more and more it seems...and begin to believe that...fill in a name...will prove to be that rarest of things, an honest politician.
Jesus said to beware of false prophets, yet we never learn. We seek salvation in all the wrong places and fall for sweet nothings gently whispered in our gullible ears.
Who will be our next savior? Who will replace the annointed one in our never ending cavalcade of corrupt leaders? Is there a chance that someone will emerge from the current crop of ego drenched would be saviors who will prove to be deserving to serve us as our president?
