While reading my classmates’ blogs, I found and interesting blog written by Darrin Nikolaisen called, “ Who Can You Trust?” The blog discusses about how the political system is based all in false statements, that most politicians are dishonest and misleading. I agree, that we should hold politicians accountable for their false statements and dishonesty.
For example, Gov. Rick Perry makes an eye-catching claim on his campaign earning him a “pants on fire” on politifact. Perry claiming that his border security efforts have led to a 60 percent drop in crime along Texas-Mexico border. The calculation he touts doesn’t consider crimes committed in cities and towns when most border residents live. Crime may have subsided in some rural aread of the border region, however, it’s not clear how much of any decline can be traced to the state’s investment in security.
The bottom line: all politicians’ are locking out for number one, them self’s.
