The government folks should be held accountable, yet they rarely are.....you might get censured like Charlie Rangel or a slight impeachment like Bill Clinton whereas in the private sector you would likely spend time behind bars for tax evasion or pay out a hefty settlement for fondling the staff.
Unfortunately justice generally gets served when we vote them out of office after years of misdeeds and the damage is done. Then they become lobbyists and mole their way back into the system.
As long as politicians are allowed to campaign endlessly, spin lies, game the system and side step the checks and balances without
severe consequences the carnival will continue.
I do what I can do, I vote.
