I don't think you understand the system.
People vote for pre-selected candidates who take office and then make choices for their constituents based on a variety of reasons. If the constituents don't like said choices they can choose to vote for another candidate at the end of the term.
For example, if I'm allowed to elect a new boss of the company that I work for, I may elect not a person who wants the company to prosper, I may elect a person who will allow me to work little, but who will pay a lot.
Otherwise, my bosses decide what is better for the company, I can share my ideas, they may accept them or not.

Link, NPR: At $11 Billion And Counting, Trump's Border Wall Will Be The World's Most Expensive
News story from today, good 5 minute listen. They get into details and it will make you very mad, though.
Trump's wall is costing $20 million dollars per mile. .... so, when do we get that check from Mexico? What a sick joke.

I don't believe you. This never happens in government.
I have a joke for you:
"The government in this country is excellent, and uses your tax dollars efficiently."

Come on, are you suggesting, a politician lied about the funding mechanism for a project and also the cost of the project?

Further-- I think that the design is actually to sew chaos and misunderstanding on all levels and to underfund or mismanage specifically so that someone like Trump or right-wing politicians can run on the Reagan adage "Government is the problem." All while funneling impossible amounts of the people's money to rich special interests. It's a scam.

And here is another tip for you, the Cheetoh is a tragic, national disaster..........but Rs, Ds, White House, House, Senate, down to your local elections, they all do this.
We have career politicians telling us, that even though they haven't fixed anything in 3+ decades, if you just give them more time and more power they promise they will do whatever is in YOUR best interests.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

I've been following along with the impeachment trial, on radio in the background sometimes when I'm doing computer work; today is one of those. Ugh.
I'm not so sure Trump ever had to pull investigations off with Ukraine on Burisma and the Bidens; in some weird game of three-dimensional chess, now that it is coming up in the Impeachment trial it's doing the major damage he wanted all along. I'm all for removing Trump from office, but it's fishy that of all the things you could legitimately go after him for, it was only when it involved a politician of their own.1990 BMW 325iC Triple Black Hard Top, Self-Wrenched, Original Owner Family

Do you need remedial reading classes Sleeve? The question marks at the end of sentences indicates a question, not a statement. Not to mention your reply is a ad hominem, which is usually the first response when someone doesn't have an actual response.
If you'd like to share your actual thoughts and opinion I'd love to read it. And converse about it.

To thoughtfully respond - I think looking at Lisa Murkowski's statement is pretty sad & alarming. I don't agree with her not wanting to call witnesses, but I do see her statement as, sadly, very honest. What does anyone think about this? Is she wrong or only half right?
Originally posted by Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska... I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed. We are sadly at a low point of division in this country.1990 BMW 325iC Triple Black Hard Top, Self-Wrenched, Original Owner Family

As many have said from the beginning, this is going to go nowhere, except waste months and tens of millions of dollars.
The Democrats knew it would amount to nothing.
What do you think the next "Crisis" will be, so they won't do anything the rest of the year?Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com
