BINGO! Corruption encompasses all branches, beginning with some of
the lowly city gov't folks, worsening in state gov't, and
skyrocketing in the totally corrupt CONgress. That's why it will
take the people, all of us, to bring about REAL change in our
country.


How, Larry? We have a Constitution to work with. A very powerful
status quo vehicle.

Good question. We have to force the corrupt CONgresscritters into
doing our actual wishes, LISTENING to their constituents and acting on
it. If they continue to fail do do so, they may force the public into
action. I sense another revolution brewing in our future. Don't you?
Let's hope it isn't a bloody one. (Or racially motivated, which would
be even worse.)

Great!!

Things I'd like to see immediately a

1) Downsizing gov't (50-75% oughta do it) since it's rife with
duplication and unnecessary agencies.

I think that has been tried without much success. In part because the
lawyers are too smart (sic!!) to allow the intent of a regulation or law
to overrule the loophole seekers.

2) Elimination of deficits.

Means taxes ...

3) Reduction of the US debt.

Paying them off costs ...

4) Buttoning up of the borders, eliminating ILlegal entry.

I think we are on the way. Of course, if the Mexicans (substitute at
will) have a better economy and safer environment, they'd probably like
to stay where they are.

5) Deportation of bad actors and all illegals of all races.

Fine. Does that include the grownups who were brought (illegally) here
when they were 6? Who never even knew they were illegal until they
needed papers? Who got educated here, have our customs, and no criminal
record?

6) Elimination of money in politics by moving to a (dare I say it?)
somewhat socialistic "kitty" base.

I'd like that too, but it is probably wildly utopian,

7) Elimination of "use it or lose it" funding in gov't agencies so we
don't see year-end mass buying sprees to use up current funds which
aren't needed.

Yes! I'm all for it. I remember the calls from upstairs (around this
time): We have $10K to spend, what instrument do you want?

8) Elimination of the DHS, reverting to FBI (internal), CIA (external)
plus a few others as necessary.

Accepted.

9) Ending the Wars on Terror, Drugs, and Poverty since they are having
the opposite effect.

That should include legalizing drugs and taxing them twice as much as
treatments cost.

That should work. Run the prices up to the point that the black market stays
in business.
