The 545 People Responsible For All Of U.S. Woes
 

BY CHARLEY REESE

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, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the
politicians are against inflation and high taxes, 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 - 545 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.

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 G.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 can pass it over his veto.

REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545
people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and
irresponsibility.

I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to
defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise 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 Marines are in
IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.

There are no insoluble 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; 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 exist
disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation" or "politics"
that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 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.

Hairy is in my kill file, so I don't see most of his bigoted posts. Couldn't
help seeing that he's still slamming the messengers, never offering sound
counter-evidence. How shallow and narrow-minded can one man be?

Well, I don't know about "Joe," but he seems to be a complete idiot. We
do know Caribou Barbie talks out of both sides of her mouth on fiscal
matters.

My advice to you, Lu-ser...report to your nearest death panel and rid us

One of the essential traights of a politician is hypocracy. Do as I ask not
as I do mentality. Not very nice poeple and usually have sociaopath
disorders so they can lie better to the gullable public.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are

politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and
high taxes?

It allows the government to corruption spend beyond its means. Not really
much different than a middle class household spending well beyond their
means for too long. Eventually, bankruptcy ensues.

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.

The people do set fiscal policy by proxy. The same a$$h0les we voted for,
it is also why people need to learn to change their votes when you get a do
as I ask and not as I do types. Obama for example, promises a balanced
budget yet just racked up more commited debt increase than any other human
has ever done before.

Makes Obama the king of debt.

Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal
Reserve Bank does.

Congress has been lib-dim-debt spenders for too long to care. Give the
president what he wants, more debt-spend.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme
Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly,
legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems
that plague this country.

They don't give a deads rats sorry ass about America. They worry about
where the next pork spend, the back room deal or the vacation money is
coming from. 9/10 of them are this way. Until people routinely turf and
recall the corrupt politicians, it will not change.

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 wouldn't. The central bank, by its very definition is a ponzi scheme, the
biggest one going. The only difference between the central banks and Madoff
is who they ****ed off.

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.

The lobby business needs to be shut down, it is too corruptive. It's main
objective is to corrupt the process with money. Pure and simple.

I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The
politician has the power to accept or reject it.

Few are morally responsible enough to decline. In fact, it attracts the
unscrupulious just for this very reason.

[ snip ]

There is a solution, but it will require people get mad enough to make it
happen. That is replace congressional voting by direct voting by the
people. The huge real reason goverment deliberally screws up electronic
voting is they know it is harder to corrupt 200 million regular people
electronic voting than just 2 party leaders. So they make electronic voting
fail to prevent an evolution of democracy of direct voting by the people for
the people.

Say I have an elitist club of 20 people, each has a net worth of $40 billion
or more. I don't mean filthy rich, I mean the elite rich of filthy rich.
They basically buy the Dim and GOP so does not mater which one gets elected,
their pocket boy wins. Pretty obvious Obama has friends in Carlyle,
Cerberus and banks getting bailouts.

But if we the people could vote electronically, posting our votes
concurently to 7 sites of arms length, the possibility of corruption of the
process becomes much more difficult. Let the congress people sell to the
public and let the public vote. There is no reason for the people nt to
directly participate, one internet click away from voting directly.

But it will not happen, our hidden masters will use the tax system to
enslave for their gain. There are quite litterally trillions of dollars out
there to make sure it will not happen.

We hare no longer heard, we are a managed herd. So saieth the governments.
