by pandering to the voters, and making short-sighted decisions based on the goal of gaining power and votes.
But, the plan to require "training" for politicians has two large problems: 1. It won't be implemented because it would require that the politicians enact legislation requiring it (and in the US, amend the constitution). 2. If by some miracle it did happen, whose point of view would be conveyed in the training? This, of course, goes back to the fundamental question of what is the "job". Is it to perform minimal and only necessary government intervention into lives of the citizens, or is it to perform however much intervention is needed to satisfy the majority of interest groups? Would the training treat this as a dichotomy? etc., etc., etc.
