Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them..
Excluding Ron Paul of course!
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them..
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 535 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 535 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 535 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 535 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 535 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 535 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!





















Will you let us send this to our congress critter?
.
I take issue with the title....
The government is hardly the only party guilty of doing this...
Corporations, especailly pharmaceutical companies, create "problems" all the time, and then sell us (i.e. "campaign") junk to combat them.
I disagree, those 535 people
I disagree, those 535 people do not HAVE the power, they are allowed to exersize our power for us, due to our complacentcy and silent consent.
the responsibility is equily split, between the blind masses, and the corrupt politicians.

Well Written...
and absolutely true.
When my back was against the wall, I voted the bastards out! I'll take my chance with a liberal democrat before I put up with Neocon BS. Then... I hold the democrat to his word.
My senators are Brown and Voinovich... and my rep is a newbie by the name of Austria ( who's' salivated for at least 10 years getting this position... I voted AGAINST him in the primaries, in favor of a Constitutionalist ). Not a brain among them.
Ohio is scrod ( past perfect of screw ).
Vote for the people who listen to the people.
GREAT POST!

The difference between a politician, and a prophet.
A politician stands up on the hill, and watches which direction the crowd is headed, then runs out in front of them and yells, "Hey everyone this way"!!
A prophet stands up on the hill and yells
" HEY, you're going the wrong way"!!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Did you write this? This is so on spot! I am sending this out to people.
I think this should be on digg or something. We are so used to excuses and pushing the blame around this REALLY REALLY says it all. Wow, thanks this really sets the tone. You know if these people did THEIR job, no matter what crap the president tried it couldn't happen because their job is to stop it. Well, done.
