The government can be sued. If they loose the suit they (or rather) taxpayers have to pay. So in theory if you vote for politicians and policies that cause these kinds of failures you the voter are held liable.
- code_duck 10y agoIf you vote against them you're held liable, too. It would be wonderful if I could pick what portion of expenditures the government is allowed to use my individual taxes for though.
- Arizhel 10y agoMaybe we should have a system where we no longer have secret ballots, and instead your votes are recorded, but in an encrypted way so that only a proper impartial investigation board (perhaps at the federal level) can have access to it, in cases where it's decided that the voters for bad politicians need to be punished personally for their contribution to the problem. So when the government is sued, everyone who voted for those politicians gets to pay. I really don't see why those who voted against the negligent or criminal politician should be on the hook for it.
