But in this Congress, accountability is just a catch phrase, usually directed elsewhere. Demands to personal responsibility or corporate accountability abound, but rarely congressional accountability or fiscal responsibility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The accountability of state legislators is so much more than federal legislators.
A lot of people get elected to Congress, and sometimes a part of their pledge is a term-limit pledge. There's no accountability.
One of the responsibilities of Congress is the power of the purse, but there is also oversight. In order to have proper oversight, you have to have agency administrators, directors, and secretaries of those agencies speak frankly and about the facts.
I'm a big proponent of accountability.
We're about winning and accountability.
Bringing accountability to Washington has been an important part of my time in office and an important part of my campaign.
It's time for these people to have accountability for what is being done.
Accountability breeds response-ability.
Certainly accountability of government is what people are clamoring for; they want to know that when lawmakers make a promise or a proposal, you can actually accomplish it.
What we are missing, utterly and completely, in this government is accountability.
