That's My Question

Charles Krauthammer's current column spells out much of what I have wondered.  How did we get here?  When did it become acceptable for the separation of powers to be blurred into a oneness that allows the Executive and  Judicial branches to legislate?  Is that not the Constitutionally-stated power of Congress?  


The sobering question is "where do we go from here?"  Do we require our government officials to adhere to the Constitution or do we continue to focus on our personal lives and Facebook?  Where do we go from here?  That's my question.

The New Mess

I'm still in a funk over the passage of the Health Care bill.  It's an atrocity.  Companies are already forecasting having to cut jobs to secure enough capital to pay for the benefits they must now provide.  That surely won't help the unemployment rate.  The other thing that's plagued my mind is how we'll pay for this mess.  Hopefully, we'll be able to repeal it before it goes into full effect.  While I haven't had the stomach to write about it, or much of anything, I have been reading.

Charles Krauthammer outlines the taxes we're most likely facing in this piece.  

In Line with Charles Krauthammer

Wow.  You know I'm thinking right when Charles Krauthammer and I agree.  Again.   He called Paul Ryan a rising star.   Oh, and I also heart Charles Krauthammer.  He's brilliant.  Sign up to my Twitter feed to read more!
