Cheap politicians are expensive politicians

The best politicians are also the best paid politicians. Unfortunately they don't work for us and they are called lobbyists.

The puppets that "work" for us are only politicians in the most generic sense.

I suppose that many of the puppets went to Washington with good intentions only to be co-opted. I suspect that only about 30 are still working for their constituents.

IMHO, Sowell is correct, trying to get hired help on the cheap is costing us a trillions.

Or you could go Australia's way and have mandatory voting. Sounds liberal but it virtually guarantees that the large apathetic middle America that loses with every special interest subsidy gets looked after. BTW its just like compulsory jury duty.
