Source of all problems?  No it's not.  Our general ignorance is what got them in office to begin with!  We're suffering a lot because of it, but it's even more than that.  People are forgetting about one of the most important things:  Responsibility.

NOBODY has been taking responsibility for anything anymore.  This isn't just a problem in the US, it's a problem around the world.  This is the true form of the cancer killing society - Irresponsibility is to blame.  The current government isn't the source of the problems, it's the most noticeable symptom.  And it's also a great method of spreading that irresponsibility.  You see, when people look to the government instead of themselves and each other for help, they grow dependent, and if anything goes wrong, they don't blame themselves for screwing up and losing their job, they blame the job.  They then do the worst thing - turn to the government for help instead of helping themselves.  Our own irresponsibility is crippling us, and government, though it's not the source, IS facilitating it.  THAT is what needs to stop.


QuoteThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Actually, read this a wee bit closer.  If the constitution doesn't say that the federal government can do it, and doesn't say the states can't do it, then it's RESERVED TO THE STATES/PEOPLE.  Meaning, the Federal government cannot touch it - that right doesn't belong to them, it belongs to the state/people.  My statement wasn't wrong, just misinterpreted.
