I just wanted you to think ...

- Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
- Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits ... why do we still have a national deficit?
- Have you ever wondered why, 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 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.

100 Senators, 435 Congressmen, 1 President, and 9 Supreme Court Justices. 545 human beings out of 360 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems the plague our country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by 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 $1M dollars in cash ... politicians have the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he / she votes.

A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY
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 George W. Bush 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? She is the Leader of the majority party. She and fellow Democrats, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it ... they merely override it.

REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS?
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 360 million people cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted, by present facts, of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem, from unfair tax codes to Depart of Defense overruns, that is not directly traceable to those 545 persons. When you fully grasp the plain truth, that 545 people exercise the power of the Federal Government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax codes are unfair, it's because they want it that way. Nothing can stop them from changing them. If the budget is in the "red", it's because they want it in the "red." If the Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's because they want them there. There are no unsolvable government problems! Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to "bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; or to regulators, to whom they give 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", or "inflation", or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

These 545 people are responsible! They, and they alone have the power we delegate to them. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by "we the people" who are their employers.

Now the State of Alabama stands on the brink of constitutional reform yet the citizens of the state still lack the fundamental rights of petition, referendum, and recall!! We are conned by political slight of hand on a daily basis. BINGO is not a problem ... lack of citizens right to vote on the issue is the problem. The Governor is not the problem. He cannot make law ... he must uphold the law ... we citizens are helpless in the face of political corruption. Illinois lost their Governor. New York lost their Governor. Alabama has had 2 of their last 4 governors placed in prison. We, the citizens, must take back our power and send a message to our corrupt representatives. We don't need "leaders" or "fighters." We need representation. Someone who speaks with our voice and for our concerns.

Next week ... how to fix the government. Additionally ... what about this property Betty Henderson wants the city to purchase?
