Because we didn't get into the current mess overnight, and Constitution doesn't allow us to make a U-turn on a dime so quickly that we give back change.
I think I like your answer better. :^)
Please explain how CREATING NEW FEDERAL ENTITLEMENTS (The Socialist Housing Program) is even steering slightly to the right.
This is plain-old Gore-like leftism.
Lemme get this straight. You further legislation that tramples the amendments to the Consitution mentioned above, so you can fix it later. I think I'm getting this stuff.
It's all part of the big plan. To avoid the appearance of behaving as Constitutional Republic, we need to pass unconstitutional laws.
We also need to spend our people's money like a Kennedy on Methamphetamines so we can elect a few more RINOs to the Senate. This way the real GWB can emerge from the closet and reveal himself as the small government, "strict constructionist" who told us "it's not Washington's money, it's the people's money" a while back.
One question. You think he'll figure out a way (genius that he is) to undo his signature on the billions upon billions of our money he's already spent and the damage that's been done to our founding documents?
Au contraire my fellow Freeper. The truth of the matter is that the Constitution not only allows buy also provides the mechanism with which to do it. The mechanism is called “ELECTIONS”.
The newly elected President can reverse any and all executive orders of the prior President(s) and the Congress (both houses) can replace any existing legislation by with new. Those matters can be accomplished in the blink of an eye (matter of weeks if not days).
The problem that exists is that even though the Constitution provided the means it didn’t and can’t provide the will, either in the voters or the elected officials.
Sort of reminds me of a saying I first heard many years ago and that I’m certain that most everyone has also. It was true then and it certainly is true now, “where there is a will, there is a way”. :-)
