Their agenda is probably greed, just like every other politician. Welcome back!

they only pay attention to those special interest groups.

It makes me sick the way politicians are in general. As I'm watching a little bit of the coverage for the upcoming elections, I'm learning that a lot of these people have been serving for decades with no real threat of ever losing their office. It seriously makes me a little heated that most politicians have never really suffered through any of the recession BS, any sort of housing crisis, had to worry about gas or food, etc. More often than not, they appear to be only concerned about a career. I'm not saying it's some conspiracy that they all meet up and decide to be at odds and make things worse so any new and exciting rhetoric buys them some new toys and years to play with them. But I do believe, after they realize what a great career it is, actually "fixing" a problem is secondary to actually staying in office and playing the political game. I often wonder how things would be if politicians were volunteers like most firefighters. I mean, in terms of "work," they have the cushiest jobs imaginable. The travel schedule and the possible stress levels, most of which is probably induced by thoughts of power or reelection - that's the only taxing aspect I can see from the outside. We deserve better than liars.
