FDISK, I don't quite understand the nature of a question asking about "the value added."
In a democratic nation, the idea is that the people govern and make decisions. That can not happen in a meaningful manner if they are not at least allowed access to the information needed to make intelligent decisions.
This is a democratic republic, not a monarchy with a divine right of kings.
The idea was not that the President was our boss, but that we are the President's boss.
