Re: Total B.S. We cannot put everything to a vote but we can vote for people that will might have the will to exercise fiscal responsibility. The average person would never have the time to understand the issue and cast an informed opinion. If we voted for everything, the media would have even more power to shape society by "spinning" the side they believe is right.
One of the problem with politics is that we almost always give folks a full term before holding them accountable for their decisions. Unless the guy is caught being a crook, it's extremely rare for anyone to get kicked out of office.
Politicians should be just like the rest of us who can be IMMEDIATELY terminated if we don't do a good job. And when TERMINATED, NO BENEFITS, NO RETIREMENT... just a coach plane ticket home.
Since the media won't do it without bias, maybe we need a government to watch the government. Yeah -- stupid idea but at least it's something different than just letting this crap continue. |
