Politicians & continuing ed.

Should our politicians be REQUIRED to take continuing ed. Many professional jobs require it. I believe they should. Specifically constitutional law and economics because most have proved they know little of either... I suggest at least 40 hrs per year. All the way up to and including the president.

    I myself have completed Masters level ethics courses and see no benefit whatsoever to be gained especially when dealing with ESTABLISHMENT Washington politicians. All the ethics teachings in the world will not change the culture.

    These people for the most part know they are wrong and honestly believe because of their position of power, they should be considered exempt and believe they are above the law.

    The only way to end the corruption is to vote it out.
