“To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse.”
― John Adams
Power can corrupt and so balance of power within our government must be maintained.
By balance I do not mean between two parties or good and evil. Obviously between the three branches and all those holding office within should be trustworthy or cast out.
I do not believe no men are honest. I believe few, if any, politicians are.
The balance between the branches is trashed. Mostly due to congress, they seem to have abdicated their authority and their responsibility on most issues. Congress refuses to control agencies, refuses to set a budget, and refuses to manage its own affairs. The courts are full of, as Jefferson warned, "robed tyrants, who will treat the Constitution as clay in their hands". As is human nature, since congress abdicates its authority and responsibility, both the executive and judicial branches have expanded their own powers. Then there's the nearly completely unaccountable "bureaucracy of administrative experts", created by dirt bag Woodrow Wilson, who believed the common average citizen incapable of governing his own affairs, so he gave us the fabulous deep state cesspool, filled with sewer rats. They create rules, regulations, and general chaos and red tape, while levying ludicrous administrative fees, etc. Sadly, nine months in, after a good start, DOGE has gone mostly silent, I had hoped they'd continue for the entire four years. Of course, as expected, congress has failed to codify what DOGE did accomplish, so the next leftist administration and/or congress can go in and refill the cesspool, and repopulate it with unaccountable bureaucratic sewer rats.
