We have created in America a permanent political class that has powerful incentives to remain in office and grow government. Protected from accountability by gerrymandered districts and financial support from special interests, its members at times actually defy their constituents, as they did on the illegal immigration issue in 2007 and the mortgage bailout bill in 2008. It's time to hold our politicians to account.
"... despite temporary setbacks, uncertain world events, and the resulting ups and downs of the market, this economy is getting stronger by the day." President Obama, June 2, 2010.
