I agree with much you say but I blame the voters for the mess we are in at this time. Now President (Dictator?) Obama has said he will use executive privilege to get his way. If Cap and Trade is dead, he will "give" more stupid powers to EPA. He is making appointees, establishing commissions, all without Congress having a say. Yes, we have a debt that won't be paid in our lifetime, but doesn't Congress have any control over salaries for evoys, czars, their office staff, etc?
I write my Senarot, Congressman, but I have necer received a direct answer to a direct question.

Let us clean house!

Playing Freedom Cheap

If eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, incessant distractions are the way that politicians take away our freedoms, in order to enhance their own power and longevity in office. Dire alarms and heady crusades are among the many distractions of our attention from the ever increasing ways that government finds to take away more of our money and more of our freedom.

Magicians have long known that distracting an audience is the key to creating the illusion of magic. It is also the key to political magic.

Alarms ranging from "overpopulation" to "global warming" and crusades...
