RE: so who would you rather have leading our government than a politician?

My garbage man, Peter Schiff, John Stossel, any Austrian economist, any honest person, etc., etc...

I'd rather have a politician. It may be a necessary evil that to run government effectively, some lies must be told; e.g., for national defense. It seems now that lies are told by them purely for self-interest. In my youth I thought we had some who were statesmen. Maybe I was just naive.

I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
