Congress Wants To Violate Constitution – Bush Threatens Veto
Liberals in Congress (both Republican and Democrat) are spending like drunken sailors yet again. Yes, they are still trying to provide yet another government handout to people that made bad investments and took on more risk than they could handle. But what else is new?
Congress sees themselves as adults and the rest of us as children that need to be placated with gifts when they should see themselves adults and much of the rest of America as children who need to be told loudly and clearly, “NO” most of the time.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A broad bipartisan coalition supporting a massive foreclosure rescue beat back GOP efforts to gut it Thursday, defying a White House veto threat and quashing a bid to make it victim to revelations about two senators’ VIP mortgages.
Administration officials said they oppose the inclusion of $4 billion in the measure to help states buy and rehabilitate foreclosed properties, and a plan to have government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) pay for the rescue.
They announced those and other objections as two GOP senators said they would try to block the package until a committee can investigate how much Countrywide Financial Corp. (CFC) and other lenders stand to gain from it.
No, I am not going to ask for you to show where in Article I such expenditures are allowed because I know that none of you liberals out there can and you won’t take the challenge. I’ve been asking for far too long and you have ignored my requests for you to step up and justify them. You can’t. We all know it but we also know you don’t care and will keep proposing such things anyway while saddling the taxpayers with the costs of more and more unconstitutional government spending.
The worst part of this is that it will be George Bush who will be seen as the “bad guy” in all this by far too many citizens who actually think, because they have either never read the Constitution or just don’t like the Constitution, that such things are legitimate functions of government.
The United Socialist States of America are alive and well and most Americans don’t care just so long as they get their own little piece of the handout pie. They don’t care because they believe it when the response from our government is, “Don’t worry children, mommy and daddy will always be there to pick you up and take care of your boo boos.”
When what Americans should be doing is demanding that government get out of our way and stop treating us like we are not smart enough or good enough to make it on our own without their aid beyond a few simple functions. Functions such as making sure we are defended against foreign invasion, that we have a right to seek redress from people that have harmed our rights (the court system), etc.
