Sellinbama,

that is an EXCELLENT point...  as a matter of fact, our first president George Washington DECLINED a third term and Jefferson did also....

"General Washington set the example of voluntary retirement after eight years," Jefferson wrote in an 1805 letter to John Taylor. "I shall follow it, and a few more precedents will oppose the obstacle of habit to anyone after a while who shall endeavor to extend his term. Perhaps it may beget a disposition to establish it by an amendment of the Constitution."

That didn't happen unfortunately until after Roosevelts fourth term...

In Washington's Farewell Address...

Warns against the party system. "It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

On stable public credit. "...cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible...avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt....it is essential that you...bear in mind, that towards the payments of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not...inconvenient and unpleasant..."

Pos,
Thanks,I just can't understand why it's so hard for liberals to understand this.And the problem being the good ole boy corrupt system.How can some be so gullible to think these elite leaders really know how to "feel your pain"as they have never have had to balance any kind of a budget of their own.Just don't understand what's hard to see here on what the problem is.

I think when the "handlers" have to show you where the bathroom is,,,it's time to clock out and quit wasting our time and money.
