Do you ever wonder what they do?

Me too.

I’m not even sure who they are. I know I should know at least the ones who come from my commonwealth but I don’t. I don’t even know the local legislators and not real sure I know my district representative on the city council.

I do vote.

I read all the propaganda and throw away all the advertisements in the mail from the people who have decided they want to be our public servants (for they don’t have the ability to hold down a real job?) to make the laws and set the taxes and OK a bunch of stuff that no one else pays attention to. They also seem to get a pretty good salary and plenty of holidays.

If I really got my panties in a bunch, I could look up my representative and email them a nasty-gram about how they should represent my point of view but without some backing organization or a pound of dough, one of the many aids or assistants would respond with a form letter thanking me for my opinion and that the representative will take my comment under consideration and just keep my nose out of their busy day. I could call and wait through all the series of numbers and delays only to be responded with daily robo-calls asking for money.

In my impassionate youth I even vainly joined groups that went to the centers of political power and sat face-to-face with my representative (or a representative of the representative who was too busy) but without a fist full of cash or the backing of the NRA I wasn’t going to save the earth.

It does seem like a different world up their on the hill. Maybe it is just a different reality that feeds on itself?

I hope (pray if that is necessary) that the people who raise their hands and take their oath intend to make changes that are good for the rest of the population, not only in my neighborhood but also on the rest of the globe. I’m sure it is just like any other occupation where there is not enough time or money or staff to get everything accomplished and just like any other committee or family you got to cooperate and compromise. Plus, if you’ve ever read any of those laws or followed any of the governmental protocol, you eyes will glaze over. England has a more rigid pomp and circumstance (not as good as the Catholic church, but close) but our American version is pretty snazzy. Printers love politics.

So what are the requirements for these jobs?

The US Constitution contains the only official “job description” for the President of the United States. According to Article II, Sections 2 and 3, the President:

1.    Is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States, and of each state’s militia when the nation has need of it

2.    Has power to obtain information and opinions from heads of the executive departments

3.    May grant pardons and reprieves for crimes against the United States

4.    Makes treaties with other countries with the approval of the Senate

5.    Appoints ambassadors, federal judges and heads of executive departments – all subject to the approval of the Senate; the President also has power to fill any vacancies that may happen while the Senate is in recess

6.    Must report to Congress from time to time about the state of the union and recommend whatever measures he thinks are necessary

7.    May call members of Congress together on extraordinary occasions, as well as adjourn their meetings when they cannot agree on their own about when to do this

8.    Receives foreign ambassadors and other public officials

9.    Is responsible for enforcing the nation’s laws

10.Issues commissions to all officers of the United States

That is a lot of stuff for one person to have responsibility for, but he or she gets their own car, house, servants, staff, airplane, meals and paid vacations. Still I wonder where the physical is? Should the voting public know that the person who will become (possibily) the most powerful person in the world be fit-as-a-fiddle? Sure you got a vice president to back the president up in case he or she croaks or gets assassinated, but using a second string quarterback is no guarantee.

It seems we’ve had a lot of lawyers. A fair amount of folks were governors and/or in some sort of legislative body so they had some background in how this game works.

WOW!

I’m not going to get into comparisons or numbers or who voted for what. You can look all that stuff up if you want but I hope you notice the vast array of subjects covered here. Trees and Indians and fish and roads and environment and mental health and budgets and…well the list goes on and on.

Speaking of budgets, have you ever looked at where you money goes? The money your boss takes out of your paycheck. Do you have any idea what you are buying?

The funny thing about numbers is that they can be arranged many different ways. That is how accountants make variable calculations and pie charts. Was that slice what was budgeted or what was spent? Do you really care what the money is going to be spent on next year? Do you know that legislators can give themselves raises? Wouldn’t that be cool?

So another election is coming up and the mailbox will be full of glossy flyers with smiling faces and cute kids and bullet points you really agree with and wonder if the guys living in the projects on the other side of town are getting the same junk mail? There probably will be some fresh young politically correct types walking the neighborhood trying to persuade anyone within shouting distance to select their candidate until they are asked a question and then run away. The posters will show up on neighbor’s lawns and walking to the polls people will look relieved they had an excuse to arrive late for work.

I will still go down to my elementary school and flash my ID or give a thumb print or a pint of blood if that is what it takes to be guided to a screen or paper or iPhone app to select option A or option B knowing full well the results from my precinct before I walk out the door.

No matter what your political persuasion; people have their opinions (bias, position, viewpoint, belief, judgment….) and the selection process requires the want-to-be job applicants to tell you that they also believe in your opinions to get your vote. Unfortunately everyone has an opinion just like the bun you sit on and most are just as full of it.

At the end of the day while we (the general public) graze on junk food and watch imported video screens, our pompous politicians…er, bodacious bureaucrats…er, gracious governmental officials…er, dedicated public servants are hard at work writing bills and passing laws (see above) to make our life even more comfortable.

Oh and by the way, they will be knocking on your door and calling you up for more money because in a few weeks they have to be re-elected.
