Seeking the truth

The sooner we recognize the truth the sooner we can cause the lies to cease.  Most politicians of all persuations fall victim to the DC beltway culture of deceptions, lobbying, backroom deals, perks of office, and the need to please their constituents in order to get reelected.  As a consequence the deceptions, misdirections, propaganda and outright lies become their way of life.  The truth is that most polititions upon arrival in Washington probably have good intentions.  But their desire to do good is corrupted by the corrupt system within which politicions live.  This includes collusion with Big Business and Big Finance to their mutual benefit, not ours.  Some of us have yet to at least openly recognize this to be the case, but anyone willing to honestly seek the facts will find that it is mostly if not completly true.  Since the mainstream media cannot be trusted to tell us the truth we must do our own due dilligence to find it.  We then need to call the political class's bluff.  This article by Walter Williams is just one example of what we are up against.
