Congress stands its ground

By George F. Will
Between 6 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Sunday, the nation began a constitutional course-correction. The current occupant’s vanity and naivete — a dangerous amalgam — are causing the modern presidency to buckle beneath the weight of its pretenses. And Congress is reasserting its responsibilities.

WSJ: Who's ObamaCare's Daddy?

Now even liberals are denying paternity.
WALL STREET JOURNAL/OPINION, 8/21/2010 - "I know this is a tough vote," President Obama told House Democrats at a March pep rally merely hours before they passed national health care. But he added that he was "actually confident" that "it will end up being the smart thing to do politically because I believe that good policy is good politics." Apparently not, as even some liberal lobbies are now being forced to concede.

On Thursday, Families USA hosted a "messaging" conference call with Democrats and Democratic allies, admitting that ObamaCare has not in fact become more popular since it passed. Families USA called for a wholesale shift in how Democrats now attempt to sell its handiwork to the public, the central theme being that "The law is not perfect, but it does good things and helps many people. Now we'll work to improve it." Read more at WSJ... Read More......

Taxpayer-sponsored bailouts bad for kids

Corvallis Gazette-Times LETTERS, January 14, 2009
Who among us does not love our children? Who among us does not invest in our children’s future? We spend time with them helping with their homework. We try to teach them good values and how to make good choices in life. We invest all of our resources in their care and would go to the ends of the Earth to protect them. So why then are we willing to pass on trillions of dollars of debt to them? Why, on one hand, do we make so many investments in their future, while at the same time we are willing to saddle them with huge debt? How can we be so willing to mortgage their futures?

The proposed $1 trillion plus bailout of the banking, auto, and other industries flies in the face of common sense when it comes to preparing our children for the future. I cannot understand why, in a country where so many resources are invested in children, we are so willing to make decisions that will have a huge negative impact on their financial future.

This generation will only repay SOME of the debt incurred by the taxpayer-sponsored bailouts. Our children and grandchildren will be paying back the bulk of that debt.

It is borrowing that got us into this mess. Why do we think that more borrowing is the solution?

The bailout obligates future generations to pay for the mistakes of this generation. Where is the accountability and personal responsibility in that?
