He's got it figured out. Why is it so hard to understand? Because of the "dumbing down" of America by the government school system. :evil:

545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, 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 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 equates to 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.

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.....

Will 2016 be different?
Elect non-lifer politicians to office?
Probably not.

Yup stupid is as stupid does. Those morons keep electing the same do-nothing politicians and trust that things will change for the better. I hope that things will change but without term limits the status will remain quo. :hunf: :XD: :XD:

Someone once said that by setting term limits and cutting the benefits once a Congressman is out of office it will drive away the best leaders. Well if what we have now is the "best" we have nothing to lose. So many candidates claim they will serve one or two terms and leave. Then they get addicted to the lifestyle, fame, and power and change like a crackhead needing a fix. :evil:
