Congressional Earmark & Trust
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Freshman Congress Folks are the best Congressional Folks. With the exception of having absolutely no power to get anything done. That is because all of the Senior Congressional Folks hold power over everything that is need to get anything done. That is all fine and well except when it comes to these Senior Congressional Folks becoming so drunk on power and corrupt to the point of criminality. Thinking that their sway over budgets funded with taxes forced to be paid by the citizens by the rule of law, that they use these budgets as their own personal piggy bank.
Then comes the promises by these Congressional Folks every two years that they are going to be the ones to clean it up. That never happens. They rarely ever get booted out of office by the voter. Only when the corruption gets to the point that the justice department is forced to do something. That usually only ever comes when no one in Congress has the nerve to stop it, because it is so bad that every member of Congress does their best to deny they ever new the member.
So who do we have to blame for all of this. Only ourselves.
Thanks to our federal and state constitutions, we have the ultimate authority and blame for this corruption. So to make it clear, it is us that are corrupt. For it is our Congressional Leaders that we send to Houses of Congress to do our bidding and to be our proxy.
