The Death of Democracy...Bypassing the Constitution

This weekend we will see what happens with 1/6 of the economy. The massive, forced push to pass health care reforms is probably going to happen this weekend. I do not need to rehash any arguments on the subject either way.

For the last year or so we all have heard what we want to hear on health care reform. Regardless of where you get your information, we all have heard enough.

What this is really about though is a select few individuals willing to force their agendas onto the backs of the American people any way they can. More and more polls show that Americans want reforms but not what Obama is proposing. I know, I know, polls can be manipulated.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid have thumbed their noses at the American people, the process of how a bill gets legitimately passed and the Constitution. Pelosi has the nerve to tell people to just wait until it gets passed and you'll see what's in the bill. Are you kidding me? That's comforting.

When a few people are willing to do whatever they have to do to force legislation through, it no longer becomes a democracy but continues the evolution into something else. Something the framers of the Constitution did not want. Think about it...the founders of this country were fleeing political and religious oppression.

Think about it...

Three individuals, doing whatever it takes, back room deals, promises and other methods to force something through. Force it through, force it through, force it through...

The Death of Democracy.

The Death of Democracy Continues...

So people still want to defend President Obama?

Fine. He and his democrat buddies in D.C. continue to outspend President Bush. A jobs bill was passed and signed this week, the intent is to create more jobs. If you read the fine print of this bill and you understand how Washington politics work you will see that when it comes to paying for the jobs bill, that falls squarely on the tax payer. The jobs bill passed will roughly come to around 20 billion, give or take.

Wasn't a jobs stimulus passed awhile back? Yes, to the tune of 860 billion dollars. Needless to say I do not need to ask what the results are of that bill. Obamacare? According to the CBO it is around 960 billion. Who will it cost? "The government will pay for it", you answer. Are you sure? Where does the government get it's spending money?

What President Bush spent in 8 years Obama has doubled since being elected. Who pays for it all? For those who voted for change and hope what have you gotten?

Washington has no problem putting the burden on the tax payer. "Wait", you say, "business will be taxed, foreign corporations will be taxed and they will have to carry the load." Really? When a business has to pay out more who do they pass that additional cost onto?

Friends, this is not hard to figure out. When Washington spends, we, the tax payer pays. Regardless of what is written in the bill and who is designated to pay for it, the bottom line comes down to you and me.

So tell me...how much more can the Dems spend until the economy breaks under the weight of spending? When China and Saudi Arabia come asking for payment of the loans we have gotten from them, then what?

What will the liberals do then?

The bigger picture is this...we can't pay it all in taxes, the costs of goods and services rise...print more money?...no...that devalues the dollar...China asking for it's loans back?...Saudi Arabia cutting off gas supplies?....the dollar is already slipping...more government spending...more government take over of the economy...more government takeover period....

So tell me, where does it end? I will promise you this: the liberals and socialists who are trying to remake America won't know what to do when America is crushed under the weight of out of control Democrat spending, other than they will have their wish, America as it was intended to be will no longer exist.

This is the Death of Democracy.
