@buddy1155 Yes. Everybody votes for the politician who promises to give them more than they put in, especially for their health care, and then everybody wonders why the country's buried in debt. Still, there IS a lot of corruption. But I agree with you that we got the government we voted for. "Make us safe from everything, but don't make us pay for it." Then the working slob ends up paying double, and the currency inflates, every year, making it impossible to dig your way out of poverty.

@adriansteele7023 Ripping it all up and starting over is a recipe for mass suffering. Be wise. Don't destroy what's good in the name of getting rid of what's bad. Even a direct "getting rid of what's bad" is going to hurt people on the fringes/margins of just getting by. The #1 thing that probably DOES need ripping up is the federal government. I think we could eliminate half of it, at least, and nobody except a few thousand bureaucrats would feel the pinch. The enormous regulatory apparatus can't do what 300 million people with smart phones (and cameras) can do. I think citizen networks would work much better for most of it, since the worst abusers of the system either hide behind regulations by subverting the regulators, or enjoy the fact that nobody BUT the government is going to be any threat to them. You want to end the factory farming practices for pigs? Don't rely on the EPA or some other agency. Just have CITIZENS sharing their stories of how bad the water is or how godawful the stench is, online, without filters. Public outrage and the threat of public outrage is a much more effective tool against these big corporations than anything the government they own can do to them.
