BLAMES POLITICIANS FOR MANY PROBLEMS

The state of airline security is now well known to be a joke; we who 
travel the skyways regularly have known this; politicians who get 
paid to spend our tax dollars knew this; now then, everybody knows 
this. Politicians have forced drivers to "buckle up" whereas every 
kid riding a school bus does not have a seat belt and filling up a 
pickup truck with two to 15 teen-agers is perfectly legal. 
Politicians who get paid to spend tax money allowed the voting system 
to become a shambles which led to a ridiculous situation recently. 
Politicians are allowing the jails to fill up with drug offenders who 
spend longer in prison than those committing violent crimes. 
Politicians sustain the drug black market with their inaction 
although this problem has been defeated by many European countries; 
they stage a drug war that any reasonable person can see is 
ineffective. Politicians are currently talking about making illegal 
aliens into U.S. citizens and have not provided reasonable management 
of our borders for decades. Federal retirement programs are superior 
to most companies in the U.S. Politicians have created turmoil in 
misuse of social security funds for thirty or more years.
