re: #506 Dark_Falcon

I must respectfully disagree. I’ve found government far less accountable than private corporations, partially because of terms of office. If a insurance executive screws up, his company can fire him in short order and has a incentive to do so in order not to lose money. A Senator who screws up may still have years left to serves and may get away with it because of the voter’s short attention span.

Two words: Golden Parachute

If that is your idea of accountability, then I have a vastly different view. But, your point about politicians is well made. The mechanism for removing a politician is there, but reality dictates otherwise in most cases.
