NewsFlash: ALL Governments on this planet SUCK! Every single one of them. All politicians lie, all major businesses cheat, steal and defraud the public. Personally I would LOVE to see a higher standard set and upheld for all of our 'public servants'.
There are brain scan truth tests that can tell when someone is lying now and no, it's not a simple polygraph test. If you cannot answer the questions given to you honestly, then you don't get the job, period. Periodic testing say, every 6 months to ENSURE you haven't been pulled to the dark side would be mandatory. It's about accountability and integrity. Nobody thinks to call all these people in government we hate so much. Wanna serve the PUBLIC TRUST? Prove it! Take the test, take the oath and let's see what a real honest person can do. I suspect there would be a mass exodus from congress if this was the law.
