Its not that the pols don't know what to do [i.e. spend less
money on government] it's that the pols *WONT* do it.

Well, there is that but spending increases in about two thirds of the budget
have been voter mandated.
The answer doesn't lie with "the pol's" George and thinking it does is a
real cop out.
The answer, of course, is with the voters.

You speak of these "Pols" as if they are an alien race that inhabits or
infests government.
I've never understood term limits and chalk them up to the same lazy
thinking that blames the "Pols" for everything.
You are an educator and ought to recognize an apt but lazy pupil when you
see one.

American government is more a reflection of the effort that goes into
insuring quality than anything.
No effort, no quality.
Just like kids and parents.
