A truth meter

Why don't we have a truth meter in political debates in real time?

With facts now at our finger tips there should be a light right in front of these politicians when they talk that lights up when they lie.

We all fact check them on our own why not have a running scroll on the bottom of the TV screen that states the FACTS.

 After they speak the next day we see in the paper or on talk shows what was fact and what , in many cases, was just completely fabricated.

The problem is that they are allowed to say it and millions of people that do not fact check accept it as truth and then repeat it.

We deserve better.

We have the technology to do it, why not?

Let's have honest debates and actual facts.
It is all right to disagree, that is how this country was founded. On good old fashion back and forth discussions, some time heated but you need to hear the other side.

Passion is good but let's hear them out and let's hear facts. I am tired of lies and distortions.

WHY NOT A "TRUTH METER?"Then we would all realize that no body in office was capable of telling the truth....They ALL need to find a new job......
