Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL THING, RATHER, IT IS ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTION AND ABOUT UNFAIR AND UNREASONABLE TAXES. CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS AND ASK THEM HOW THEY PLAN TO PAY OFF JUST WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SPEND. IF YOU GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER, LET ME KNOW.******************************************************* ***************************************I play 3-4 dozen times a year with my band Cormorant's Fancy (www.cormorantsfancy.com).

Sounds Like: If you think I sound like someone else, let me know and I'll post it hear. . . The clip below is from my first trip to Ireland in June 2008. After 3 days in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, I pulled out the whistle as we were leaving and daughter Heather filmed the clip. Not the best, but after seeing PJ's dozens of whistle clips, I had to get something posted.Nonpartisanship - it ain't a Democrat/Republican thing."545 People - by Charlie Reese:Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them........................................................ ...................... Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?................................................... ............ Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?............................................... You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does....................... You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does........................................................ .... You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does....................................... You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does........................................... You and I don't control monetary policy, The Federal Reserve Bank does........................................................ ................................................ One hundred Senators, 435 Congressmen, one President and nine Supreme Court Justices - 545 human beings out of 300+ million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country..................................................... ........................................ I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority................................................... .......................... Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con-game regardless of party....................................................... ............................ What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall........................................................ .................................. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.................................................. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes....................................................... .................... It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300+ million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility............................................ .............................................. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair...................................................... ................................................. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red......................................................... ................................................. If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way......................................................... ................................................ There are no insolvable government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, to lobbyists, and regulators Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.......................................................... ................... Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible....................................... They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided we voters have the gumption to manage our own employees.".................................
