For those who have grown a bit cynical, the idea of ethics in government might appear self-contradictory. In other words, we might be able to have one or the other, but not both — at least not at the same time. This thinking is partly a by-product of the very public ethical lapses committed by those in government positions.
As easy as it would be at this point to launch into a diatribe against the Clintons, who have taken corruption to new levels, they are really just one part of the problem. And it distracts us from the fact that there are government officials who do exhibit a high level of ethical behavior in their spheres of responsibility.
The problem is compounded by the need to review the behavior of government officials when potential ethics violations are discovered. What this implies is that we have the government monitoring the government. The potential problems with that are obvious.
As Mr. Trump prepares to arrive in the Oval Office we see how this system can go awry. More on page two.
Tom Melendy Lmao you forgot a 1 in front of the 30 how convenient
Agreed
So what grow up
This must be what they mean by draining the swamp huh
Personally, I find it refreshing Trump can pad his own pocket and not have to become a dirty crook like all of the other politicians that are sitting on their azzes for years becoming wealthy w/all of their crooked schemes,land deals,lobbyist & tax payer $$
Enforce accountability!
Don’t you see that IS being a dirty crook? Sigh….
According to the US Constitution anyway
Anyone can do that if there using tax payers money exactly how many millions did they use
Well said
