Honesty and the government job

The role models in this past 20 years have made it very difficult helping parents teach that lying and dishonesty are wrong. Everyday the television or internet has someone that has lied but recently they do not even have to look for the liars as they are found everywhere from all walks of life. It's out of control.

Professional athletes, actors and actresses should be positive role models to our children and honesty is expected. As for government officials holding positions of the highest offices in our country should be honest and trustworthy due to the position and as role models for our children. When you have several Presidents and government officials lie on the television without any remorse, apology or any attempt to do the right thing is harmful for our children and to other countries as well. America has some of the GREATEST LIARS IN THE WORLD.
Here are just a few:

• Lying is okay when your the President of the United States or in a government office.
• Dishonesty being is and there is a upsetting double standard created.
• It is okay for Americans to lie but shame on us if we do.
• If Americans are dishonest to other Americans then how good is their word in other countries.
  Status means you can lie.
• They think it is okay if your a government official as they never apologize or show any signs of remorse unless it seriously affects their position.
• They have no consequences as they do not have to provide documents that American citizens must when they lie or cheat.
• If you have money and power it is okay to lie and be dishonest.

Government double standards: Lie once, public is made aware of, lie twice more news coverage, lie three times still have your job, public takes notice, still has job.

Employees reality: Lie and/or cheat immediately terminated.
If I did not have my birth certificate or other legal documents I would not even have the job. Changing the way a word was defined to make a lie sound better,  any sexual misconduct, at-will State, TERMINATION.

As children truth and honesty were values and morals that our parents taught us consequences would be enforced when we told lies. In real life this holds the is reality. The government officials need to start really paying attention to and changing how they are being viewed by the American Public because our fears of security have greatly depleted and our hope in honesty is basically gone when it has anything to do with the government. The TRUTH will always win. No one expects perfect because we are human but if you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar, ADMIT IT.
