The Corruption of the Nation's Soul

SEE HERE Thomas Sowell points out how dishonest our lawmaking process has become. Bills have to be rushed through congress lest someone actually find the time to read them and protest. Little provisions entirely unrelated to the central concept of a bill are slipped in to get special taxes put in place and fund pet projects. We live in a time when government has simply grown too big, too unresponsive to the citizenry, and frankly too arrogant. If it is not trimmed back soon we will all have the luxury of extended regret, for once tyranny is established it is extremely hard to undo it.
