I want to start a campaign to change the phrase "public service" to "self service"!
I'm sick to death of this privileged class in Washington acting all high & mighty and telling us they know what's good for us.
Meanwhile, they all seem to get richer and richer the longer they're there. And I'm not just talking about the pols. They bureaucrats have learned how to leverage their "self service" into lucrative consulting/lobbying jobs when they retire at 50 with that generous pension we give them.
