Congress, Am I Mistaken Here

[p238shooter]

I was sent a request to send an email to my Representative and my Congressman supporting something I think needs to be passed through congress. I typed the following. (Lets not get into what I think of each one of the elected officials or I will destroy my own post) but lets talk about the functionality of how I have perceived our Government should function. My Post:

Please Join Senator Inhofe by support S-.571 Pilots Bill of Rights 2

You are as important as any of our present or past military warriors. Please take our Country back for all Americans. FAA,FCC,IRS,EPA,DHS, etc. are not private entities to do as they damned well please. Someone has to follow the chain of command. If you give up your control, you will have none. You are a very big part of our only hope for this country to survive.

Thank You for serving our country.


Now as an afterthought about sending this (Originally concerning the FAA,) I thought we had a chain of command, starting with the voting people.

The 3 branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

Government Agencies who work under directions of ALL 3 branches.

Wait:

Whats the deal of Government Agencies seeming to be working as independent entities, violating laws right and left with no respect for your superiors, and do not have to answer to anyone?

In private business, I know how to handle that attitude. YOU ARE FIRED and going to jail. Replacements are on the way.

What am I missing here?

Democrats. That answers all you questions. The most corrupt. Not saying Rinos are perfect but your number one problem is Dems won't do the right thing.

The problem is we have a two party dictatorship. Government agencies are used to implement agendas that span administrations that multinational corporations use to enact long term agendas. Each piece on its own seems inconsequential but put together they form a larger picture. Congress using the power of the purse to act as a check on power is seen as "un patriotic." The judicial branch is often more likely to rule according to popular opinion. The executive branch uses its intelligence agencies to spy on their number one perceived threat, the American people and their representatives. The republican leaders in the house and the senate have sanctioned this with their tacit complicity.

These agencies are under the executive branch, which has an elected official at the top, but are headed by political appointees who have loyalty to the one who appointed them, lie to congress, and pursue the "vest pocket agenda" of the administration.
Meanwhile, the man sitting at the desk where Harry Truman said "The Buck stops here" says "I didn't know anything about it." And goes on another fundraiser.

It is the Chicago model of government applied on a national scale, exactly as I warned 6 + years ago: but the majority thought otherwise, twice; must like the kool ade?

Meanwhile, look who gets fired:

Prepare To Wait For Tax Help
The problems start with the fact that the IRS has cut nearly 12,000 positions as its budget has fallen by an inflation-adjusted 17 percent since 2010. New health insurance requirements are also creating more paperwork.

Congress unconstitutionally abrogated legislative power and gave it to these unconstitutionally created agencies that govern in realms never granted to the Feral(federal) Government. Congress also lost their power to stop the executive branch from creating law via these agencies. Even if Congress can pass a bill prohibiting an action by any one of these agencies, the President can veto that bill. Unless Congress can override that veto, the proposed new rule(law) will become law, without any say-so from us via our elected representatives.

We have legislation without representation. Seems to me we fought a war over this very same issue a couple hundred or so years ago.

Basically we are screwed either way we look at it. Our reps aren't looking out for us and even if they were what could they really do? Woody is right about what he said. Maybe more people need to think about that.
