Right. But there's still no real and immediate accountability.
For example, if I run into the server room and trip over the cables (thereby causing hundreds of coworkers to lose their work), I should be hauled in front of my boss's boss for the traditional verbal caning.
If I do something wrong deliberately with serious consequences then I should be fired. Not in 6 months or a year, but on the spot.
It doesn't happen in Congress. So as much as I love Thomas Sowell, I really think that we would continue to get what we already have in politicians (as there never is "too much" money, even among Dems), only it would be worse.
My Congressman told us in 1994 that if he wins election, he will term limit himself after five terms.
Guess what?
He is running again this year for his seventh term and has proved himself to be a lair, period.
I will not cast my vote for him, but he is guaranteed to win. No challenger.
