The United States of America ended last night with a cheer as the congress gave away their power to the bureaucrats. The USA ended not with the defeat by a powerful enemy but by the lust of congressmen to retain the power and prestige of their office. For those that voted yea last night, I hope there time in office ends soon.
Soon our lives will be controlled by un-elected bureaucrats. Everything will slowly come under the eyes of the government as it might effect the health of the people. If you are doubtful, just look to agencies such as the EPA, DOE, IRS and how they have eschew themselves in the American life.
Some did what they could, others did nothing and now deserve what they are about to receive. I wonder what the people who didn't vote think now?
They say nations only survive about 200 years before a major change in governance. Although found nowhere in the national archives or known writings of Benjamin Franklin, it is widely accepted that he once said “When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”1
Last night we had ours. We are no longer a Republic but a Socialist Democracy.
