You elected government officials to make decisions and it's about time they started making good ones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Good government only happens when the people working in it do their jobs, and do them well.
People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests.
Governments are run by people. People can be bad.
Good government is good politics.
My sense was that most of the elected officials in Washington - in their heart of hearts - really believe that the system can't be too bad because it produced them.
So I went into government with a clear mind about what the problems were, and what needed to be done.
Good policy makes good politics and what I've done has been good politics.
Good ideas are the backbone of good government.
Good government is the outcome of private virtue.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
