I totally agree that both sides are to blame because all they do is try to get into the office. On problem is that the people are there because it is their career. In the good ol days, lol, when people were in office they were not paid for it and it was an honor for them to do the best they can to fix what was wrong in the country. Paying or giving benefits to governmental officals needs to end, it would cut down the norm to only try to get into the office to get paid!!
Some more fixes for our county:
1) turn welfare into a reimbursement based system. You get X amount of dollars at first, if you don't track and itemize valid expenditures, then you get less the next month. The monthly amount should then have cap to prevent excessive spending. Also, drug test every person on welfare on a sporatic basis. Drug addicts don't need welfare!!
2) turn the prison system so bad that people will straighten up instead of not minding going to jail. Also, inmates are sueing the government for inhumain treatment because they are not getting served meat and are getting soy products instead. REALLY!! Your ass is in jail, be happy that you get a damn meal. Those people should only have basic human righst and nothing else. If you don't want those conditions, then DON'T break the law
I'll stop there cause this isn't the place for political rants.
