Eye Opening Article
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.
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 the President 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? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
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 that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the 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 Army & Marines are inIraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
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 exists 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.

Holy Groceries!
So it has been MONTHS since we have went grocery shopping. I don't mean that measly $40 per week we spend on milk, salad and fruit...I mean GROCERY SHOPPING.
Out of control? I think yes.
However, this happens once every 3-4 months and we eat until its bare bones in the freezer.
This last time we had some steak bones for the dog, bag of ice cubes, and super old ice cream sandwiches left before our stomachs couldn't handle it. That's it. I'd say that's a pretty good freezer clean out!
To give you a visual I am 5'4". And so is our receipt.
And that's even after $10+ in coupons!

Mondays about Me!
1. What was I doing ten years ago?
I was 20, already working full time and had just bought a house with my boyfriend which was a no-no but like we told everyone it would be fine and we did get married eventually....just couldn't pass up what we thought was a great deal! AKA MONEY PIT.

4. Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire?
Whatever I wanted ha! I would drive back down by the DM river and go up to those tents set up next to the frozen river and see who is in it and how I can help. Instead of just saying I should do that and not doing it.

Re-selling Ventures
We have a three year old girl and with the birth of our second child who is a boy I've been going through the old clothes and toys we saved and listing them on ebay and craigslist to sell. I really have no goal in mind for the money and I'm not keeping it separate for something but we are paying down our general debts (credit card, store account, and school loan). Recently I listed my daughter's favorite Elmo dress from when she was 2. This was apparently a hot item and ebay and someone paid $37 for one dress! There was a huge bidding war over this dress and it was crazy. I'm now on the hunt for super cute Elmo attire at Goodwill to resell online. Its amazing what people will pay for children's clothes. We barely buy any clothes, relying on hand me downs and garage sales for most of our stuff. Maybe I'll start keeping track of sales and profits and have a goal in mind for this stuff.
