Your one line at the end is one that politicians have a problem with.

It's unfortunately the one the American public has a problem with too.

We all run around shouting that we want honesty from a politician, but we really don't.

If politician's were to actually tell us the truth..we'd NEVER elect them.

Hi! I'm your local politician from party X..our economy is in the toilet so badly that it'll take every ounce of tax dollars we can squeeze out of all of you for the next two decades to fix it.

And I'd also like you to be aware of the fact that due to gross mismanagement of the educational system and our industrial sector of the market we won't be competitive on the world economic stage for another entire generation. We will of course be addressing this, but meanwhile tighten your belts, it's going to get ugly around here.

And some of our "social saftey net" programs like social security, medicare, and medicaid are running out of funding, which leaves us only two options. You're going to pay more, or you're going to get less.

Either way will work, but you're going to have to come to some sort of consensus on this. And if we cancel it, you'll each be assigned one sick elderly person to care for, as they'll now be homeless.

And about the military budget..we have a choice there too.

Pay the military men and women more, but cut funding for military hardware and pull out of this war honorably or not. I mean, it's really expensive having our armies in foreign countries.

Or alternately, up your taxes, continue selling our souls to the chinese for extra bucks for ammo, and accept a lot more military casualties actually finishing this thing for good.

Your call.

Vote for me! I'm from party X and we're freaking honest.
