We need a national scorecard on policies (#4475)

     I find that we United States Americans are not up to date on what policies are being proposed, what positive polices are currently in action and what negative polices need to end. A national scorecard that updates daily with information about each policy and how that policy is being implemented. A national database that gives the pros and cons, much like with our election pamphlets that help us with arguments for and against and the rebuttals to those arguments for and against. I know how difficult it is to keep up to date on pressing issues of state when our own lives continue to be complicated.
     But not doing so only harms us all because we are not giving our consent to what is important and necessary by default. Which I think is a big part of the problem as to why we keep electing politicians who are not legislating for our best interests. A national scorecard that is available everywhere for all of us to glean our information from and would be a simple solution to help give our consent to how we are governed. We cannot leave it up to those who are elected to discern our greatest needs when we do not offer them the advice they need to act. Yes, we need to advise them how to proceed, not the other way around.
     Whether it is a government program that engineers a national scorecard on current policies or a public/private enterprise, the need is evident in that too many of our electorate have to rely on questionable sources for their information. A one stop shop that keeps a daily tab on how our policies are working and even a foresight column for thinking out ahead about possible policies that could be effective. A place where politics and subjectivism are not part of the equation. Only facts and logic. If we are to use our critical thinking skills then we need a place where the policy formulas are available and easy enough to comprehend. A national scorecard would be a learning tool that would benefit us all.
