One Thing Government Cannot Do!!!

Parade of politico signs

We can expect to see more political ads on TV and signs with politicos’ names spiked in lawns across the country during the next several weeks as we head into a critical mid-term election for the Obama administration.

With the political fervor ramping up, so will the rhetoric and hyped-up promises for “change” at the local and national levels.

It’s what politicians, politics and our government tends to do – over promise and under deliver with a premium price tag attached.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this country and it’s the greatest form of government on the planet. But it has shortcomings.

One such shortcoming is summarized in this quote from philosopher Jurgen Habermas, “Democracy requires of its citizens qualities that it cannot provide.”
