We pretty much know the kinds of things that professional politicians will do. That is why the founders tried to set up a government of the people. The idea was to have everyday citizens go to Washington for a short time to represent a constituency. That person would go back to their jobs after their term of service was over. The founders never wanted people to spend their lives in government.

Sure we do...they'll help their "friends" loot the treasury. $20 trillion so far...another $ trillion each year.

They WANTED "government duty"...like "jury duty"...eligible people are chosen at random...go for a while and come home.

The present system/government is completely corrupt...from the local level on up. We NEED a complete overhaul...ALL of them out and replaced...most of them unneeded.

The reason government is so big is its replaced the real economy with a fake "borrow a $ trillion a year to keep things going" economy. What is it? 40% of the jobs in America today are related to the government in some way? 40-50% of the people are collecting government benefits?

Shrink government and it all falls apart.

Cut taxes and the deficit goes up.

Choose one...you can't have both.
