"A gallon of milk is probably about a $1.50, a loaf of bread about a $1.25, $1.30," he said.

"Giuliani said he did not recall seeing a Confederate flag during his day in Alabama — even though there was a display of four Confederate flags flying beside the Capitol.'

This is not a rip on Giuliani, Repubs, or Dems. It is a rip on all politicians. Are ALL of them honestly just really talking heads for other people? Do they not know what is going on around them?

Over here the amount of money the guys at the top earn (prime minister etc) puts them way out of touch with the people on the street. They defiantly won't know the price of milk etc as their army of staff will deal with all that kind of stuff.

The problem is that everyone wants the top leaders to be in-touch, understanding and whatnot, but to GET to the top, they have to be the opposite: ruthless, uncompromising, ready to push anyone out of their way.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

I agree with you marine. They are all super rich out of touch asshats with no regard for anyone but thier own persoanl agenda of aquiring wealth and power.

Now, what can we do about it?

Politicians should be paid a max of 50k a year, not 100k + and if they have an extra job the 50k should be instantly removed.

Another thing, anyone that WANTS to be a politician shouldn't be allowed to be one.

Well he just lost the Alabama primary.

Professional politics has been around for 2500 years, and so far it sucks.

No. It was more like vote for Marcus T. Scipus for more bread and better cicruses.

The written record only extends back 5k years. I imagine that politicking has been around for longer than H. Sapiens.
