Do you think government employees and elected officials have forgotten who they work for?

Yes and yes.

The more troubling thing is that so many of the 'We the People' seem to have forgotten who these people work for? If more people remembered this and what it means for them to REPRESENT the American people, we would not have Trillions in debt, an immigration policy that can barely be called a policy and officials who seem to be unaware that we live in a Republic, or what this even means?

Much of the response to this question has focused on elected officials. What about government employees?

TSgt Hunter Logan yes they have forgotten. The whole concept is public service with the operative word being service they are elected and hired to serve us their constituents and citizens of the United States.

Yes in some cases I think that government employees and elected officials have forgotten who they work for LTC (Join to see). Thankfully I don't think the majority of them that have forgotten who they work for.

LTC Stephen Ford. I know who I work for. But I don't share your optimism.

LTC (Join to see) - I was referring to the local, state and Federal government level in my reply. I am most optimistic at the local level and in many states at the state level where they have a more difficult time avoiding their constituents. State officials have a better chance of following their state constitutions from what I have observed.
Yes I agree with you that at the Federal level there is much room for concern. :-(

PV2 Scott Goodpasture. Why don't you share your opinion beyond posting a meme about opinions?
