That covers it for me.
The people at large have no say in how their money is spent.
Elected officials vote themselves raises, vote to pay thier own retirements etc. They decide what is important and where the funds go.. often to meaningless private interests ( ie. porkbarrel projects.)
When they handle it wisely i'll stop complaining.
It's not the party in power it's politicians in general.
Once elected it's like they check their brains in at the hat closet.
