Two words:
TERM LIMITS.
When I was a kid my parents were registered Democrats. They felt, as did many, that Democrats were looking out for the working man. Now, Democrats as well as Republicans, they're looking out for only themselves, specifically the perpetuation of their careers as politicians. It's all about re-election, which means it's about posturing themselves to the highest bidders, and accepting the bribes, er, contributions of lobbyists.
Am I cynical, or just being realistic? Both, I think.
But as long as we keep electing career politicians, we'll keep getting "the government we deserve." (Ben Franklin)
