It doesn't matter which side of the political fence you sit on ....
It doesn't matter which country you come from or live in ...
It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you do ....
.... but do you feel that, more and more, that .... our professional politicians (and their beauraucratic 'toadies') are all just ?gtaking us to the cleaners?h?
Just what happened to the notion of ?gPublic Service?h and a dedication to making society operate effectively...as opposed to a career of self aggrandizement and the quest for a bigger pension; of the eternal ?gphoto-op?h and promises that we know can never be kept?
When did things really start to go from bad to worse ?
I know that here in Canada, we have inherited several 'generations' now, of pretty ineffectual gentlemen (and ladies) from all political parties who have succeeded over the years in achieving very little other than to totally pee everybody off !
But, worse ... I think they know it .... and don't care !
Wasted public funds on a hilarious scale, impossible promises, meaningless rambling ?ganswers?h to direct questions, waffling, ?gflip-flopping?h, use of public funds for private purposes ( - all with a damned good excuse,of course !) - huge ?ggolden handshakes?hfor people who should probably be in jail – all are rampant, it seems. Not to mention the appointment of expensive committees and commissions to investigate the most ridiculous things ( like, ?gare wealthy people likely to be more healthy than poor people ... ??h).
Am I right ?
Is it getting worse ?
Or was it always thus ?
Would love to know what it's like where you come from.
