If you really want Honest elections

 Neither side is satisfied in their government representatives. Left and right, we have all been promised what most politicians never deliver. Once they have reached the office that they campaigned for, promises made are usually quickly forgotten. Tired of that? You should be. Common sense tells us that politics was never planned to be a career, but as a short service to the nation. The truth may sound cruel, but we as a nation have reached the point where an election can be bought. Solution? The most obvious is we the people insist on Term Limits. In this time when million plus people are a dime a dozen bunch, it is the billionaires only, who are looked upon as rich. As of this moment in time, we haven't had our first trillion dollar baby yet. In that way, the Trillion dollar mark is sacrosanct. And yet, we now talk openly about spending trillions of dollars on one pork laden bill after another. New laws made up of thousands of pages are passed without knowing what they say as it is a long boring read. We are told by fools, that we should first pass the bill, and then try to understand it latter. 

  We are already well over 30 trillion dollars in debt, and yet the once relatively sane Democratic party has gone from the old days of tax and spend, to where bills nearing the trillion dollar cost are now routinely passed. Each one adding to our spiraling costs for running this huge monster, that the federal government has become. If they keep just printing more paper money, eventually, we'll all have some really fancy wall paper in our bathrooms. Don't look for it, because common sense has long since left the building. The solution? 

  Rather than lay out the whole plan, let's just cut to the chase.' and get to the more concise solution. A highly controlled list of presidential wanna-be candidates gets whittled down within a two year procedure until finally, two or three qualified candidates emerge.  It is generally agreed that to win the presidency will cost about a billion dollars. That kind of cash usually come from special interests groups or so called, Political foundations, usually tax free. That kind of money just breeds corruption. With this new plan, each final candidate will get 100 million dollars each for their campaigns, courtesy of, We the people, the tax payers. Any candidate who spends one nickel more, is reason for immediate dismissal from the field. Reaction? Instead of a ton of silly nemes, posters, and blatant lies, to get the most bang for the buck, surely the candidates will use openly televised debates. Final reaction? The new president will work for the people in general, rather than for the privileged few.
