Are we so foolish?

The nation's debt has climbed $2.78 trillion dollars in the past five years. This climb occurred during a very trying period between the political factions. On one side more debt was wanted while on the other less debt was desired.

The sides have been preaching the very same positions since I was a kid yet the national debt has continued to grow. It can not be stopped because the politico's are unwilling to pay the price. If the side who wants debt growth is in power, it grows. If the side who wants less debt is in power, nothing is done towards reduction because it is too painful to cut un-needed governmental services and expect re-election.

You know the gig has really been set when the politico's are more than willing to cut a veteran's pension yet have no issue whatsoever with giving themselves a cost of living increase.

How did we become who we are today? The solution, I think, is removing anyone from any office who has served at least two terms in that office. You are able to remove their desire to govern in order to get re-elected and replace it with a component to serve.

Why are politicians called leaders?

We have all played the game of Monopoly and in some of those games we each played the role of the banker. We did not create or earn the paper money found in the game, but as the banker, we disbursed it, charged interest, and even collected the fines charged in the game to get out of jail. As a very popular board game, we all counted upon the players to play by the rules.

In the United States of America our government officials are elected to serve the people. If they are elected to serve the people why do we call them leaders? After all, they are elected to follow the rules of the United States Constitution, as well as the statutes created through legislation. Yet we call them leaders, when in effect they are "followers" of the established constitutional rule or, in the very least, "servers" of the people. So why do you fear your government official who is elected to serve you?

Please take a look at the following and demand your elected official simply follow the United States Constitution. If not, you must simply support someone who will. After all, they are elected to serve you.
