Can Washington DC be fixed?

The nations looks on in chagrin as they view the machinations of our elected officials debating matters of serious import without reaching a timely decision that can affect us all. We see entrenched in the seat of the presidency an individual who is plainly and visibly a self-centered egoist with a Narcissist complex who believes himself to be the second coming and that no one can begin to fathom his purpose or his purported genius.

Barack Obama has one thing on his mind and he refuses to change it. His idea of correcting the ills of this nation is to tax and continue taxing at ever increasing rates. He wants to penalize those who make money in order to continue giving welfare to those who are not as industrious and expect the government to support them. This excessive spending by the current administration is unsustainable at current levels but that little bit of information seems to elude Obama, Geithner, Reid, Pelosi et al.

None of these people have any idea of how the economy works or what wealth is or how money and wealth are really created in the system of free enterprise. They equate wealth with money which is indicative of their socialist thinking.

This socialism began when those who'd been voted into public office decided that the Federal Government was somehow responsible for the well being of all and that it could guarantee fiscal security for everyone regardless of circumstance. To accomplish this the system was maneuvered so that legislation and programs that were tenuously constitutional were nevertheless implemented which has led to a series of ever increasing encroachment into the personal lives of all citizens of this nation. This is where the nation now stands; being held in the grip of two opposing forces. One seeks government control of everything and the other seeks to shrink government control down a bare minimum.

But this sort of behavior is nothing new. It's been going one for quite some time. Here is a short clip from the Disneyland episode called Davy Crockett Goes to Congress produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1954.




Can Washington be fixed? The jury is still out and we'll have to wait a little while longer for the verdict.
