If you haven't got into South Park then I strongly suggest you do. One of the characters, Kyle, has the predisposition to believe what he is told by one of the gang (Cartman) and is continually disappointed. Cartman on the other hand is not a character to like, he is described as a devious sociopath who is only interested in achieving his own ends. And this my friends is where we are today with so many politicians, bureaucrats and bankers (to mention only a few). They live in Cartman world where the only thing that matters is them. Is it only me, but there seems to be a complete missing of the point regarding the politicians and their expenses! The bottom line is this.... by virtue of their position they are able to leverage income beyond the imagination of most people. Not only to they take advantage of this, they want carte blanch to write their own expenses cheques for whatever they want. The review seemed to be going somewhere but apparently that is going to be watered down. In the end, I wonder, nothing will be very different than before.
