I gotta agree with a lot of what you have to say. Our government has kinda rotted from the core out & we've let it. Dunno what the solution is. A lot better minds than mine have contributed to this mess. I think a good starting point to cleaning up our government might be to implement term limits. Congressmen get two terms, Senators and the President one term or something like that. Now that might be tough to get done but we can do it if we all just decide that the first qualification for our vote is the candidate who favors term limits.
One of the biggest problems with our government from local to national level is that those in office spend too little time & effort on doing what is best for the country & way too much doing what will get them re-elected.
WE THE PEOPLE can get this mess fixed! It might not come about for ourselves and maybe not even for our children but if we get to work right away, our grandchildren might have a shot at it.
