Government becoming too powerfull?!! Updated July 2009
Below is my post from March of 2009:
Some of you might say " they all ready are,...Have you heard of the IRS?!!" Yes, I remember the senate hearings several years ago where mothers and fathers were telling stories of how the IRS agents broke down their home doors in the middle of the night and held them on the floor at gunpoint while their children watched in horror. This was true, we are supposed to now have a milder IRS. My question is, "how did we even let this get to that point?" History repeats itself folks, just in different ways and in different times. Now, we have an administration that wants more power when they could not even monitor Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac ( FM FM ). If you recall, there were 100 people employed as monitors of those firms. That was their only job, to make sure they ran well and did not become the problem that this Treasury Secretery said he now wants to prevent...so give him power to do better...What?!! Really?!! Then, in recent years we had Senate hearings with Maxine Walters, Barney Frank and others about FM FM and they did nothing and slammed the folks waving the Red Flag in those hearings! Keep in mind folks, the best solution to all of this is to limit government power and let US...We the People be in control. We have a hard time keeping our business sector clean from corruption as it is, that is what we need to work on...handing all power to government is not the answer. Their power grab and direct involvement into our lives is creaping in at an alarming rate.

It has become very scarey that all the Power and Control the Government is now seeking and getting that the US Dollar and other countries are now seeking to replace the US Dollar as the main staple of currency. Trains have brakes, semi's have Jake Breaks, where are our brakes to slow this train wreck down? With a State Run media and special interests controlling how the uneducated voters will decide in 2010 and 2012, it is a sad sad time for America.
STAND UP PEOPLE, APPLY THE BRAKES!!
I can't even finish what I wanted to say here, I am so sad for our country.
The solution is Congress; it is time to throw all incumbents out of office and flush out corruption. Re-Elect No One ( RENO ) By cleaning out the house up there, we can start to look inward and deal with businesses and corporations ourselves. The government's regulations and latest power grab seems to be no different than the old Mob...watch the Godfather Lately? Yes, we have problems folks...let us have the power to fix it and suffer the consequences when we fail, at least we have the power and not the government. I am a humble person, and peaceful, so peaceful that I would probably sit and watch it all crumble if it does. Sad you say? Well, it seems like 99% are doing the same thing, doing nothing, lets at least write an opinion ....or two.

It's not that it is too powerful, it is out of control.

Agreed, so while we have ( still have ) the ability to do something, we must act. A major hurdle is most people are takers and uneducated.

Why didnt we do something when BUSH was in office??? That IDIOT was the one who got us into this mess anyway. If the American people are so smart, why did they RE-ELECT that MORON???? Why are we blaming the gov't now??

Thanks for commenting. The only thing I can say is this. Bush did start the spending, We the People were to caught up in buying and flipping homes and getting into debt ourselves.
Bush left us with a 4 trillion debt and now Obama doubled it. So,...either way now America is saying after the house of cards fell ( all our faults if you really study it ) we see that the deficits are too much to over come. This allows the Government to be able to control our income, thus our liberty, freedom and pursuit of Happiness. It is sad we let it get this far. Obama of McCain or Bush, we have to take lessen the governments power.
Time for for us to loose the GOP DNC elephant and donkey crap and join together and Re-Elect no one and send people there for a short period of time. This will protect them as well so as to lessen their susceptibility to fall into greed and corruption.
Bottom line, we are Way to close to total bankrupcey, look at Kalifornia, do you want to pay for the mess they got them selves into? Lets look forward now and admit we let life long politicians get to greedy etc.

If you think Bush got the US into this then you really need to read your US political history. Bush made it worse but government has not been properly limited in its scope for over 50 years. And I do not recall Clinton making government any smaller during his time in office, nor Carter, JFK or any US President in my memory. You can hope Obama will be different but I think you will be sadly disappointed. IMHO.
