Perhaps it was just in my reading but was there a sense of surprise in your article that the agenda of politicos at all levels of government puts their self-interest at the very top?

I didn’t really think so.

Also, I was glad to see you got the Hyde/Fisher history correct. The Press-Trib referred to them yesterday as two “northern Idaho” politicians.

And the people are stupid enough to help them do it. Same problem with spending. People don’t know what government’s role was intended be. Living constitution anyone? No money? No problem, just float a bond and lie about how to pay for it.

“It is a misfortune incident to republican government, though in a less degree than other governments, that those who administer it may forget their obligations to their constituents, and prove unfaithful to their important trust.” The Federalist #62,James Madison, published 1787-1788.

Seems we have always worried bout politicos not keeping the faith with the people. If they would just do the job the people elected them to do, then they would not have to write laws to protect their public service.
