Government has many problems
What happened to common sense? What happened to honesty? Politicians take bribes, steal from us, have midnight pay raises, $90,000 in the freezer, giveaways, earmarks, rewards from big oil and drug companies with million-dollar jobs to work as lobbyists, and some even destroy government secret documents as a cover up. I would say only 5 percent to 10 percent ever get exposed. Is there such a thing as an honest politician? Step forward! With all of the corruption, how many can there be? Three thousand Pennsylvania state employees are making over $100,000 a year plus obscene benefits and pensions.
Show me one that is worth that kind of compensation. Just one. I worked hard as a computer specialist and manager for 40 years and I never made over $50,000 a year. With no pension. They just abolished my job on two occasions.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum goes to work for an insurance company? Now what did he do to get that job and at what salary? Please tell us, Rick. I am so happy that I helped to vote him out of office. A great day.
Gee, I wonder where his kids go to school now ?
Some judges give slaps on the wrist to major sex offenders of our children. Why? Some have lifetime appointments. This makes no sense to me.
So many of our public servants are incompetent and inept and driven by greed..
The Twin Towers were destroyed and thousands died due to incompetent and arrogant government agencies. And stupid Rosie believes the U.S. helped to do it. Is this common sense?
The drug companies write the laws and our greedy politicians pass them. Why?
I will tell you why … $$$$$
Big oil companies make billions of dollars and we subsidize them. Why? $$$$,that’s why.
Congress argues and does little or nothing for the people. They come first, of course..
Illegal people cross our borders every day and the federal government looks the other way. Why? Votes, and votes equals $$$$ for them.
Can you imagine what our country could be? Using common sense, without the greed, corruption and incompetence?
All politicians and judges need to have a two-term limit, pensions eliminated and no raise during those terms.
Lobbyists need to be abolished and gone forever. That’s a start.
