Press play and listen to the truth!

Notable headlines/Questions that need Answers:

* A recent poll reveals broad bipartisan support for changes to Social Security that could address the program’s looming financial crisis. Voters from both parties overwhelmingly back reforms, with consensus on increasing the payroll tax on high earners and making modest benefit reductions.

* Why do we let politicians make grand promises in debates or statements when there's no requirement to follow through and no accountability for lying? 

* They repeatedly fail to deliver, yet face no personal consequences for misleading the public. What's the point of listening to their claims if we know there's no enforcement or punishment for breaking those promises? It feels like empty rhetoric, with no obligation to uphold their word. Shouldn't we demand more transparency and responsibility from our leaders?
