Here are the people to trust will more likely tell you the truth in this matter:

Taxpayers.
There are a hundred million or so.

Here are the people more likely not to tell you the truth, but to give you excuses and rationalization while picking your pockets, even convincing themselves of their rightousness:

Conservatives (and not all Republicans are conservatives) will play the Founders' game when they are in Congress. A conservative politician thus winds up voting for bills containing even the most obscene socialist oppression, because he has gotten everything he can to mitigate the crime. The same is true-in mirror image-with the liberal in Congress. And in ideal situations we have liberals voting for Welfare Reform, with a liberal President scrambling to take credit for it.

Over time-and many fights and resulting bills-someone moves the country in either the right or the wrong direction, and the vote on Elections Day (not "big money interests", which are nothing more than a quarter-billion people communicating with each other) determines the general direction. The defeat of the obsolete American left will allow our country to continue its recuperation from the Clinton disaster. It is important to the near future that they suffer that defeat in at least one of the next two cycles-preferrably both...
