What ever happened to the word "reform"? or better yet what ever happened to taking that word and applying it to a politician, a "reformer"?

I mean you hear a lot of talk, but never any action. Not like notable reformers like Roosevelt or Lincoln or even Hoover. This government needs to be completely flushed, new young faces need to be sworn into government offices. Generations are going by under the cage of old men who know nothing of this changing country. We need a reformer.
