All Checks, No Balances
For those of you who are excited about all the “change” we are seeing…as well as the cheers for “yes we can”…here’s a sobering thought:
The structure of our government for the past 200 plus years has been designed around the concept of checks and balances. No one branch of government should be able to take over and distort this. Unfortunately, we had that issue with the Bush administration, hence the election of a freshman senator to bring us change.
Now, we are getting ready to see the results of all that change. With a filibuster proof majority in the senate and house, and the most liberal president in history, you’re about to get the change you voted for.
If you didn’t like the Bush years, you’re in for a real wake up call…it’s about to get a lot worse. We are increasing our presence in Afghanistan and are taking our deficit to a level that goes beyond all deficits combined over the past 200 years of this country…again, if you didn’t like what Bush did in terms of spending money, that was just the pre roll of what’s to come.
If moderates who shifted to Obama and the democrats don’t wake up and make some immediate changes for 2010 elections, this country as we’ve known it for 200 years will cease to exist.
I’m sure some of you are happy about that…but remember, we have been the most prosperous country, with the greatest opportunity for individuals during that time period. That’s why people from all over the world want to come here.
Let’s try not to forget what made us great…and the checks in place that have allowed that growth to happen. No balances has two meanings…
