Something to chew on...

When I was in High School, there always seemed to be this mystique around being voted in as the "Class President"
...but what in the fuck does a class president even do?

Did the class president ever get a soda machine for homeroom?
Did the class president ever change school hours?
Did the class president ever get us better 'gym uniforms?
Did the class president do anything to forward the athletic program?
No.

Why?

Because the class president has no real power.


Our selected officials work on the same premise.
They make it through the primaries because SUPPORTERS (aka, bag men) pay their way in.
Does it matter?

Does anyone really think that a 10 billion dollar slush fund, available until Septemebr of 2028 under the auspices of "Worldwide Security Protection" is really going to be handled with integrity?
...by ethical people?
...for unbiased security efforts?
...in a manner that isn't tilted towards the stewards personal enrichment?


I'm not asking for a frined this time either.
I'm curious as to how many of us REALLY think that the people writing and voting for thesemeasures havent already opened up new ofshore bank accounts to cover whatever the new scam is that they are about to run.


Whats the over/under on long long it takes for this to die quietly under cover of "the next big thing" ??
