The Particular Structure of the New Government and the
Distribution of Power Among Its Different Parts
From the New York Packet. Friday, February 1, 1788.
MADISON

Federalist Paper #47

"On the slightest view of the British Constitution, we must perceive that the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments are by no means totally separate and distinct from each other."

So as I read on through that paragraph I couldn't help but notice how much they dwelled upon things that have worked in the past.  They only shaped ours like the British because they knew that for the most part, it would work.  Today the liberals want to shape our government like that of Europe yet again, only this time it is a socialist government they are straining for.  The socialist governments of Europe have been fairly short lived and have already shown their weaknesses.  How many countries over there are in worse economic conditions than the US?  Just think if our government had another 1 trillion of overhead...oh wait, now we do.  Socialism only leads to bankruptcy. 

The rest of the paper just divulges into different states and how they blend the powers more completely than the proposed Constitution, so I couldn't find much to rant about.  So I will just write something short from my news watching today.

Rove was on Hannity and he went through the numbers of the new budget plans from the Obama administration.  He used their numbers for his calculations and he even said that those numbers were extremely optimistic.  Given that, he laid out the deificit in the upcoming years and it seems that even if Obama cuts his deficit in half(which he won't), he will still have added 4.7 Billion to our debt.  According to Dick Morris, the top wage earners could see a 20% increase in their taxes after all is said and done, to pay for this.  In the end we will have, more permanent government programs that are inefficient and worthless, a higher debt and higher taxes.  Can anyone possibly come up with a worse scenario?  I don't see an end in sight for bailing out the auto industry for example.  They are still going to be strangled by the unions.  Our education system will not get any better as the teachers union will not have disbanded and allowed competition reign supreme through our schools.  Our healthcare system will have went Canadian and where will all those Canadians crossing the border go for their healthcare?  Our wait times for treatment will rise into the months and our costs will rise with them.  Meanwhile taxes on businesses will be higher and they won't be able to thrive, leaving our private sector out in the cold.  Its almost like Obama is reading straight from the communist manifesto.  This class warfare can only go on so long until all those making money, take a hike over the oceans and never return.  Around that time the rest of the world will see that our businesses are not taking off, the government budget is continuing to run up a debt and there is no end in sight.  They will cease investing in the United States and the dollar will lose its value.  Sure that will help our debt (that won't matter by that time), but the rest of our economy will crumble as prices skyrocket, without you making any more in your job. 

The banking system was put into a bad place and we could have just let them fall.  Other banks that were smarter would have bought the loans for pennies on the dollar and the survival of the fittest would take over and the crisis would have been hard, but short lived.  Instead we decided to allow idiocy to carry the day and we bailed them out.  By bailing any industry out it only cripples any possible recovery.  The auto industry for example would have been able to restructure and get the unions off their backs.  The workers would have to settle for competitive wages instead of outlandish marks.  They would be able to come back strong and keep their prices low.  Now they cannot do that and are stuck right where they were before.  They will never be able to prosper without declaring bankruptcy and dispatching of the unions.  Its back to square one with 50 billion behind us.  To continue on the banks, what we did was take their problems and put them on the country.  Now the government/taxpayer is on the hook.  With just the banks, if they failed, it would recover as I mentioned above.  With everyone on the hook, if this falls, it could be the end of America as we know it.  We rely on the rest of the world believing we can pay back our loans, but if this doesn't pan out, they will know we cannot and as I said above, the dollar value falls.

So all in all, Obama and Bush(with his bailouts) have put us in a pretty precarious position.  Socialism won't work and since we are so close to bankruptcy already the short term gains may never be seen and on the other foot if it doesn't work at all anyways, we are doomed.  Thank you spendaholics in DC.
