• What does government actually do, and does it do too much or too little?
• What are the basics about elections? Who funds these campaigns?.
• See how Congress works “behind the veil.” Deals. Trades. Power.
• Two major political parties dominate our politics. How does that work?
• We elect a president who relies on bureaucracy to serve us? Working?
• What about lobbyists, activists, and others who have influence?
• Then there is the outsized influence of media, in all its forms.
