Now, wouldn't that be something? Have the politicians do what they promised BEFORE they are nominated! If it is not done, or if they cannot do it, they cannot be nominated. Promising is easy, and before the election they all promise the people heaven on earth. And after the election they cause a war and send people's children to war - or poison them with all kinds of crap!

That wouldn't be a bad idea except how can they do something they promised to do once elected before they are even nominated?

Augean stables… hmmm… 🤔 kind of like the “mainstream media.” But less 💩.

I always associated that story with government debt.

I associate that story with a particular section of our weekly croquet pitch: The Hill of Sisyphus.
