In Washington it is a different story. There is no business acumen in existence. There are far too many lawyers and far too many millionaires in office. There is no concept of accountability to a budget. It is not their money they are spending. They do not operate to the laws and rules we the people must adhere to. None have ever had a real job or run a business.

Complete lack of leadership.

Is it any wonder that the better people in the USA do not want to join such a club?

PS I will allow there are good folks in politics....they are just so few and far between and are not in Washington!!
You are right on all counts. It is my guess that most public servants get into the game for altruistic reasons, but are ultimately corrupted by politics and the system.
