(1,372 posts)I have also said the same thing.
I'm not as smart as a lot of other people here on DU
BUT
It seems that our government is so corrupt that they are not trying to hide the corruption anymore. It's like they are saying, well, we did thus and so and nobody said anything so let's just do what we want until someone says something.
The ethics committee needs to be held to some standard that says they need to be working on at least one thing at any point in time.
We know there are certainly, enough things that need to be worked on.
Your idea does have merit and it makes a basic statement - If We the People cannot trust our elected officials to do what we've elected them for then there needs to be oversight at a level that can be trusted - at the We the People level...
Thanks for your ideas and your time
