To Whomever Has the
Courage to Read This:
It has become painfully
clear to me that the U.S. Federal Government is not working, and the situation
is getting worse. Dire. Many would argue that we just need to send
better people back to Washington. Well,
we have been sending politicians back there for over 220 years and things are
going downhill faster than ever. It
doesn’t really matter whether the Republicans or the Democrats are in charge,
the path is downward, and elections have become essentially irrelevant. Witness unconscionable spending, deficits and
debt; mostly for things that the federal government is not even
Constitutionally authorized to be spending tax dollars on in the first
place. American Idol, homosexual
marriage, legalized marijuana, condoms, abortion and contraception capture the
politicians’ attention while terrorism, open borders and voter fraud chip away
at our history, heritage and culture.
Nero fiddles while Rome burns. I
have absolutely no faith that the federal government, politicians or political
parties will or even can reverse course and fix our problems. Sadly, I am not even convinced that many
accept that there is a problem or really want to do anything about it if they
believe there is. The fiscal cliff is a
done deal. That was sealed many years
and many trillions of dollars ago, there is no avoiding it. It is only a matter of when, not if. Only cutting several trillion dollars a year from the federal budget (hell, what
budget?) in spending would even be a nod toward trying to fix our fiscal
fiasco. Is that going to happen? Ummm, no, no matter who is in charge.
Our only hope lies with
the States and the People. How some
bottom up solution would be constructed or play out I have no idea. I do know that short of it though, we are
done. Our future will be one of a
bitter, divided, balkanized, bankrupt third world society. You people up there in Washington are just
going through the motions. No one
believes or trusts you anymore. You have
become a joke, a laughingstock, irrelevant.
Your time has passed but you just don’t know it yet. We are now a post-Constitutional,
post-federal government society. I think
more and more we will see States and groups of People striking out to do their
own things. Take ObamaScare, for
instance. No one really believes it is
going to work or last. A lot of people
are simply going to ignore it, like doctors in a big way. We will see cash-only transactions, barter,
black markets and off-shore commerce in medicine and most other elements of
society become the norm. This is the
brave new world that your policies, both Republican and Democrat have wrought.
I just pray that the People
rise up and exert their Constitutional authority over this federal leviathan
before it is too late. May God have
mercy upon us all.
