Get honest politician and the mass surveillance police state collapses as it loses the power to exert control via extortion.
Absolutely agreed, but if you cease to make being a politician so profitable... then dishonest greedy people won't get into politics, problem solved. As long as politicians can affect the flow of capital in society, setting up what are, in effect, money laundering machines where they skim the take into the party coffers, the current march towards a feudalistic police state will not stop. In the U.S. both parties do this using different sets of lies, but the results are exactly the same.
Personally I am not sure if this is possible.
the government isn't responsible for inflation, that's down to (in the US) the Federal Reserve.
Huh? So printing money by the boatload... to finance an absurd deficit... doesn't create inflation? The U.S. Treasury would need to collect about $1.33 for each and every day since the Dawn of Time to be able to pay off the hard debt racked up in just the last six years. A buck-thirty-three a day may not strike one as a lot of money, it’s considerably less than what some folks pay for their daily latte, but the payment schedule would be spread out over “eternity.”
No POTUS in history has cracked down as hard on immigration as he has
Sir, with all due respect, you're not being terribly honest. It's also widely reported (Outside of liberals blogs like thinkprogress.org, dailykos, etc.) that almost ALL the new jobs created since Obama took office have gone to immigrants.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
