Do career politicians and large bank CEO's work for the public good?

January 21, 2010 at 12:18PM

Career politicians oversaw our plunge into the current economic and medical abyss. Would "Term limits" be in the public's best interest?

Would better, more practical, and more economical Health Care legislation be achieved, if principally directed and overseen by career medical personnel, instead of career politicians?

Have huge salaries and obscene executive bonuses made bank CEO's smarter, and more effective than they were prior to 2007?

With so many available and unemployed financial workers, are bank CEO's who were instrumental aides to our economic downturn, too valuable to be replaced?

Should current and future bank executive bonus pools be used to fund social security?
