Empty Pageantry

- James Howard Kunstler -

While Main Stream Media continues to portray the Presidential contest in a manner similar to a boxing match or whatever sporting event, it isn't a bad time to make a few points.

1) The power to spend rests with the Congress. Period.
2) The Congress (goverment) has no money - except that which it extorts/demands from it's productive citizens or that which it borrows from future generations (without their approval).
3) The President has limited spending powers except that which the Congress in it's weakness or self interest (campaign contribution obligations) refuses to challenge (undeclared military involvement).
4) The monetary mayhem to which all the citizens find themselves in relates to the failures of Congress. Period
