I really don't know much politicians are greedy puppets, but they are
slaves to campaign contributions.
Those multi-billion dollar campaigns aren't coming out of *their* pocket
or from Joe Citizen's pocket.
He who kisses ass properly, with due fealty gets the funding and wins
the election.
For the citizen:
Panem et circenses.

Case in point in addition, the "outrage" over NSA spying.
No real substance from various national leaders, especially allies. Only
panem et circenses.
