Ineptocracy - A Failed System and How to Fix IT.

There is a direct correlation between the size of government and the money it spends, and the number of laws on the books.  Each new law requires at least 5 government employees to oversee and enforce the law.  It is ridiculous  The most amazing fact about this is that nobody knows how many laws are on the books as it is purely objective as to what is a law  and what isn’t in many cases . One Louisiana congressman said that every person in the United States could be charged with violating one federal law or another. One thing for sure, we have a political system that is wrought with conflict of interest when it comes to lawyers.  Congress has 54% of the Senators and 36% of the representatives as lawyers. How about a sweeping amendment to the Constitution that requires term limits, limit the number of laws on the books, and prohibits lawyers from running for office……fat chance.

What to do….. Elect politicians that are not lawyers and have as a part of their platform, the pledge to repeal laws.  The Political/legal system becomes a make work program for the American Bar Association, creating laws so they can give lawyers work.

This sort of sweeping change is the only thing that can save our Republic from anarchy leading to a totalitarian dictatorship.

On Procedures and Knowledge

On Procedures and Knowledge

Our men’s coffee group only allows five minutes to talk about “conditions and procedures”, after that you must talk about current events and politics, local, national, and international.   After a great deal of study, I have determined that there is a direct correlation between age and knowledge.  I’m sure that Plato came up with that a longtime ago,  but the younger you are the less you know about politics and current events.

Now the philosophical question is……Is it the fact that the older you get allows for more time to research and become aware of the subjects, or do young people just not give a damn.  I think grandchildren are the triggering mechanism.  As your grandchildren grow toward adulthood, you try to envision what kind of a life they are going to have.  That scares the hell out of you today, so you look for what can be done to improve the grandkids lot.  After very little study, you see that the fault lies with the idiots we elect to political office at all levels.

The last 6 years have seen a doubling of rules and laws, when local, state, and national forms of governance are considered.  Of course there is some variance based on states.  I’m sure that is not true in Wyoming.

At all levels of governance we must start repealing laws, and make it illegal to create a new law without repealing an old one.  This is THE problem that is increasing the size of government. This is the procedure that must be implemented all over the country. Find a politician that will sign on to this law.....

DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN

 



I see all of my friends spending time talking about procedures and medications and being completely oblivious to what is going on in the good old USA.  What is wrong with this picture???

The country is in a financial death spiral, Christianity is being  demonized, most of the Euro centric nationalities are fast disappearing, and we are sitting around fiddling.......and Rome is on fire.

I am of the age that nothing will change for me, but what of my children and especially my grandchildren.  They have little hope of living to a standard that I enjoyed,  AND there are people in Washington that say "that is the way it should be"!!!

Is there really a conspiracy to take from the rich countries and give wealth to the developing countries because the rich countries got rich at the expense of the poor countries??  Did it begin with Marx and  has been refined over the decades to what we have in the USA today??  Are groups like The Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and others really running the world??? 

I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that the people we have in Washington today, both Democratic and Republican are totally inept.  They are doing everything wrong, whether purposely or because they are selfish and stupid remains to be seen.  The comparison with the downfall of Rome is scary....we are on the same path.  I just wish I had 30 more years and the time, energy, and money to do something about it...

The next 30 years could be a disaster...I hope our grandchildren survive.
