						 Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then 
 campaign against them.
 
 Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are 
 against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
 
 Have you ever wondered why, 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 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? She is the leader 
 of the majority party. She 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 in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ
 .
 
 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.
 
 They vote their own pay raises for themselves because they want it that way.
 
 There are no unsolvable 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!
 
 EDIT I add this I am a member of the VFW and illegals get faster and better health care than I get. If I went down to the welfare office I would and have received secondary treatment because I am a WASP..
