Mandeville, LA - (Audio) (Excerpted from "The Mike Church Show" on Sirius/XM's Patriot Channel) - The most important races on today's ballots are not those for the U.S. House of Representin' or the U.S. Senate. No they are those races that will elect or re-elect members of the several state legislatures, senates and governors races. The perverse practice of state governments rolling over and playing dead when Congress exceeds its authority is the first thing that needs to change in order to "get our Constitution back.
Without getting into the detailed history of how this used to be done and when it stopped let's just state a simple fact and move forward shall we? Last year's federal budget deficit was $1.4 trillion, divide this among 50 states and you'll get app. $38 billion per state. Does anyone reading this post believe that their state's citizens would have consented to a tax increase of $38 billion last year? What about this year? The answer is "n"o yet this is exactly what the state governments have done by accepting federal mandates and then the borrowed funds that come with them; states have become partners in this generational theft.
Once the voters figure this out and then have epiphanies over the fact that all that borrowed dough will be paid back by their future labor, we can hope that fixing this local corruption begins in earnest. I hope that begins today.
