It’s Got to Stop: You Need To Know Why The Government Report Cards Are Full Of Fs

Aren’t you tired of your elected leaders devolving into the laughingstocks they are on the world stage? How about the shameless way they’re dealing with issues at home? Where does it end? It’s got to stop!

Why do so many people feel that our government has failed? A better question is, why are there so many who believe our government has failed us again? Today, I will illustrate failures that have gone unchecked for too long.

Let’s begin with the power of some industries and businesses over our government. Who’s calling the shots in Washington? Who’s looking out for the little guys? When it comes to the effects of big lobbyists on Washington decisions, nobody is looking out for the regular tax-paying, working-class, citizens of our country.

It’s especially poignant to discuss what’s wrong as we head into another election season, weeks away from nominations for the candidates to lead the country in the four years starting in January. Whether it is Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or even Kennedy if by some miracle we could get an independent elected, one of them has a mighty tall task.
