Public Service or Self Service?
In Just a Thought, November 19th, 2009
When did the honorable profession of public service become so self serving?
A quick survey of Congress reveals it is as rare as hen’s teeth that any member of that body who has served multiple terms has not significantly increased his personal wealth.
Is that a shocking coincidence or an indictment of the current political class in America?
Upon closer examination, it would appear that most, if not all of our public servants are at least as committed to improving their financial well being as they are to improving America’s future.
By their actions this year alone, they have put our financial future at significant risk and they continue to ignore the input of the people as they attempt to build for themselves an unassailable fortress from which to run our lives.
Instead of public servants, they have become self serving, power hungry, money chasing aristocrats completely detached from our everyday issues.
