Re: 2nd Great (greatest? worldwide?) Depression

I agree. It would be very nice to have one location, on the internet, where everyone can see exactly what is being passed/voted on.

The problem comes with corruption, the politicians will not allow this to happen, as it will then show exactly what bills are being passed, and all their "pet projects." I would love to have the chance to vote a big fat "NO" on certain policies, but that is exactly why they do not post them to the public.

I find it funny, and scary, that politicians who have our "political interests" at heart love to do deals, and put in their own projects behind closed doors. Then they work on what the public wants, and insert their deals and pet projects into the bill in the background. This is corruption at its finest. How are we to combat that? If we rise up and claim "We want to see the bill!" They claim "It will be seen soon!" and it only shows up after it is voted into law.

Democracy breeds corruption, however I love democracy as it is the only real way to rule a nation, IMO. But, what is happening in the US is not democracy, it is an aristocratic system built on the premise of Democracy, and hidden behind the banner of Democracy. True democracy does not exist in the known world anymore, that was out years ago when politicians figured out how to play the system to their advantage.

So, on your point, about Party A and Party B. Why is it that is the only 2 choices in the first place? You shouldn't have to substitute one good thing for another. Each party only really has 1 good thing, the rest is trash. You should be able to get all of it fixed without a political agenda.

This also proves my point that I believe there should be no career politicians. I mean, what a joke to consider your career to be a career politician. They are in it for the money and nothing else, they just do what little they can to appease their constituants, and then keep their projects going so they can make more money, and retire as a rich person on the top 1 percentile of the nation.

But, I digress, this is all a big mess we call Washington here in the States. There will never again be a great "democratic" nation, it is all a series of propaganda and political interests.

The question is not "Why does the Government want to go to Socialism?" It is "When will the US be a Socialist Country?" We already are, people just don't realize it yet.
