Made some good points but clearly with left leaning bias. When discussing negative points throws bush and trump snippets, on positive points Obama.

1. Both party are lobbyist prostitutes. Congress, DNC and the GOP need big money from the lobbyist for elections, re-elections, MSM Positive PR, and it takes half a billion dollars to run for office and millions for congress.

2. Congress does not create the bills and regulations, they just robosign them. Those bills and regulations are drafted by the lobbyist and their dream team of lawyers on the payroll. There is a reason why billions are spent on lobbying

3. The Reason why tax money is wasted is because of reason number 2 above. The lobbyist draft and create the bills being robosigned by congress.

So when the gov't waste money the tax payer picks up the tab and the Lobbyist who drafted the laws end up on the winning side. Its only the tax payers that gets shafted not the Lobbyist

Obamcare is an example. Drafted by lobbyist, excessive waste but if you look at the top healthcare insurance providers before and after Obamacare you will notice something interesting. Their stagnate earnings went to an almost 45 degree incline to the positive after

4. To fix the issue you need to get the majority of the people to get their heads out of their @rse and identify the actual problem and not chase their tail with the symptoms. For the last 5 decades at minimum we have been discussing the same symptoms of corruption: Taxes, jobs, economy, immigration, SS, medicaid,sexism,racism,sexuality,religion,foreign matters,energy,environment etc.

However not one of those things have been fixed and that is because they are all effected by gov't and lobbyist conflict of interest and corruption.

To fix those areas we need to demand that the DNC,GOP, and the MSM not ONLY FOCUS on corruption but make it ISSUE number 1:

We should ONLY be discussing the following things.

1. Congregational term limits

2. campaign financing reform.

3. Lobbying reform

4. doing away with super-pacs

5. Revolving door between gov't and private sector

6. Transparency
