No More American Pie.

No More American Pie.
By James Blaise.
Hello yall, it’s time to once again write about the important topics that will impact America and the American people in 2011. Let’s focus on the latest topic to get rehashed by pundits, bloggers, and some talk show hosts through meaningless chatter. I’m referring to the newly comprised United States Congress.
The shift of power in Congress from the suffocating tentacles of the Liberal Democrats to that of a revitalized Conservative Republican Party represents more than just another symbolic swing of the political pendulum between the two major political entities in the United States. The American voters chose to elect a group of representatives that more closely resembled their core values. A group of individuals who value the principles upon which this nation was founded on. Representatives who realize that the expense account that funds all of Uncle Sam’s projects should not exceed the available revenue coming into the coffers. Elected officials who acknowledge that free enterprise should once again become the predominant fiscal philosophy as opposed to Keynesian economics. Finally, a class of men and women who pledged to hand back America to the American people.
Speaker John A. Boehner now has the responsibility to lead the Republican Party in the House of Representatives by making sure that over spending doesn’t take place. He needs to make sure that regardless of how tempting political expediency may become he is representing the interests of the people in the people’s house not the house of the bureaucracy. He along with his colleagues in the House along with those in the Senate need to start replacing Sunday talk shows, tonight shows, and cable channel news programs with their chambers as the places where fiscal sanity gets restored.
Representative Darrell Issa of California said it best though in his appearance on Face the Nation this past Sunday. Congress has a duty to regain the trust of the American people. They can’t continue to fill legitimate pieces of legislation with pork barrel projects. They can’t pat the backs of those brave men and women who wear the uniform with rhetoric, and then use their votes to deplete them of the resources they need in the battle field. They can’t continue to pretend that an old alliance dating back to World War II will help keep America safe, and then ratify a treaty preventing the development or use of defense systems in case a radical regime decides to get an itchy trigger finger. Finally, the new administration must show that their agenda abides by the Constitution of the United States a document that was trampled on like the grass in the African jungle after the Great Migration by Pelosi and her cohorts. Also, Congress must attempt to find answers to pressing issues instead of creating pieces of legislation just to prove a point like President Obama has done in the last 2 years.
The analogy is often used in comparing the national debt to a pie. Well, the pie has grown from a McDonald’s apple pie to a three story wedding cake. An unacceptable growth that will lead to the demise of this great nation as well as put a communist friendly government like China as the number one super power in the world. We’ve all seen incoming Speaker Boehner yell and cry, but how good is he with a carving knife?
