Let's SLOW down major legislation...

The Founding Fathers designed our government to balance the passions of the masses with the discipline of good governance through the makeup of the Legislative(House and Senate), Executive and Judicial branches. But unfortunately, our legislative branch of government is broken. Why do I say that?

The Federal government has recently pushed through spending "express" style on stimulus to pass a laundry list of liberal spending priorities that have waited for decades. As of May 16, despite the legislative "emergency", only 6 percent of stimulus money had been spend. So what was the hurry?

Next up is cap and trade. And healthcare. And Democrats are planning to ram them through as well. At some point, some statesmanlike Senators or House members may appear in that caucus. But I am not holding my breath.

It is time to slow down. And make any future legislation right, not expedient. Haste makes waste. And this Congress is proof of it.
