Every politician and every political party promises to end out of control government spending, lower taxes, revamp the education system and the health care system, create more jobs, end wars, and make our country the utopia we've all wished for. It never happens and yet many of us will dull our brains and continue to believe these things will be achieved in the next election. Many will crowd stadiums and forums to support our choice for leader and cheer loudly every time he/she makes those same promises election after election.
If politicians were legally bound to live up to their promises they'd use their rhetorical talents to talk about the weather. Maybe it's time we held these people liable for not coming through with their pre-election promises.
And maybe it's time we listened to their speeches with an unbiased ear and learn to recognize the double talk when we hear it.
