The looming debt load will some day come a-crashing. But politicians are doing nothing — or nest to nothing — to stop the growth of the debt, and thus keep on piling on the extent and severity of debt.
So click on over to Townhall.com, to read this weekend’s column by Yours Truly, the purveyor of Common Sense, and then come back here for further reading.
The career of a politician mainly consists in making one part of the nation do what it does not want to do, in order to please and satisfy the other part of the nation.
In 1837, Queen Victoria got her crown exactly 152 years after James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, declared himself king – unsuccessfully (he was executed less than a month later). Victoria reined 64 years, during which time a number of interesting things happened on June 20:
On this date in 1787, at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, it was moved and debated to confine legislative powers to two distinct branches, and to strike the word “national” from the document.
The final wording eventually became “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” And the word “national” does not occur anywhere in the Constitution.
