Our politicians are famous for spending money to appear as if they are doing something about a problem when they know the results will have no effect whatsoever about the problem.

Lying and acting are their top skills. Patriotism isn't in their character. The Oath of Office was just something they mumbled with no intention of ever obeying.

"Our politicians are famous for spending money to appear as if they are doing something about a problem when they know the results will have no effect whatsoever about the problem."

And why is this? Simple - money and wealth of huge proportions are being exchanged at such frequency and by so many (the benefactors are in every state in the nation - especially in large cities where voting density is critical to reelection success) that the monetary and political risks far, far outweight the risks (of an uprising against such practices).

Some would even call this a crime.
