Politics

Politics, in my opinion, has always been a disgusting, dirty business perfectly suited for people with no morals, no integrity, no honesty, and who are willing to sell their souls for little bit of power.

Once politicians have served for twenty years, they retire as multi-millionaires which is hard to believe because their annual salaries are a little of $100,000 each year.  Either they are getting kickbacks or using insider information to manipulate stock trades.

Additionally, it seems that politicians, especially in the US Congress, care more about re-election than they do about doing what's right for the American people.  For example, the problems we had in the 1960s are basically the same problems with had in the 1980s, the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s unless they get solved in 2025...  which I doubt.

Part of our problem with politicians could be solved by passing TERMS LIMITS.  No one in Congress and serve more than two terms whether consecutive or not.  Unfortunately, only Congress can create and pass such a law.

The other part of our problem with politicians is the fact that Congress has created and passed laws which give the wealthy several ways to HIDE/SHELTER their money from taxes.  Hence, we never seem to have enough money to provide the programs we want and must borrow money to do so.

Politicians in CONGRESS could solve ALL OUR PROBLEMS very easily, if they wanted to.
