Should We Expect Anything Different.

How pathetic that Bush declares a state of emergency in DC to use it to pay an outrageous sum for an inauguration. At a time when individual Americans are in financial trouble, the coronation of the Chosen One is deemed so important that something that is supposed to be used for disaster relief is invoked. Of course, maybe it is the warning bell for the coming disaster. The disaster is not because Obama is about to become President, it is because the United States is in decline because of who We the People have elected into office at all levels of government. It is also not to be placed on the shoulders of those recently in power, but a decline that has been going on for some a good number of years.
Bush's action with declaring a state of emergency just go to point out that no one in office has the slightest clue to what our founders considered the proper spending of government to be. In wasting these huge sums of money on unconstitutional spending, they are draining the finances of the taxpayer. We are burdened with paying for the government employees who feed from the trough of stolen money the taxpayer many of them making more than the average taxpayer. Abraham Lincoln called wages the property of those that are earned it. We see our "property" taken through coercion and intimidation, only to be used for things that are outside the bounds of the proper role of our government. While I voted for Bush twice, I believe he has failed in his duty as President on so many levels. This highly dubious action on his part now fittingly points to his supreme failure, the wasting of trillions of dollars of Property taken through the threat of force. Will we the people ever stand up and begin to say no? It is hard to say, somehow I doubt it. Maybe one day a majority of people will find the courage and stand up to the thieves and the liars.
