from a normal human being is an
excessive amount of gall. No nor-
mal human being would have the
gall of a Speaker, who stood up
and criticized the President for
creating deficits. The President
can only propose a budget. He
cannot force the Congress to
accept it.
The Constitution, which is the
supreme law of the land, gives
sole responsibility to theHouse of
Representatives for originating
and approving appropriations
and taxes. Who is the speaker of
the House now? He is the leader
of the majority party. He and fel-
low House members, not the
President, can approve any budg-
et they want. If the President
vetoes it, they can pass it over his
veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me
that a nation of 300million cannot
replace 545 people who stand
convicted -- by present facts -- of
incompetence and irresponsibili-
ty. I can't think of a single domes-
tic problem that is not traceable
directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain
truth that 545 people exercise the
power of the federal government,
then it must follow that what
exists iswhat theywant to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's
because theywant it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's
because theywant it in the red.
If the Army andMarines are in
Iraq and Afghanistan it's because
they want them in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
If they do not receive Social
Security but are on an elite retire-
ment plan not available to the
people, it's because they want it
that way.
There are no insoluble govern-
ment problems.
Do not let these 545 people
shift the blame to bureaucrats,
whom they hire and whose jobs
they can abolish; to lobbyists,
whose gifts and advice they can
reject; to regulators, towhomthey
give the power to regulate and
from whom they can take this
power. Above all, do not let them
con you into the belief that there
exists disembodied mystical
forces like “the economy,” “infla-
tion,” or “politics” that prevent
them from doing what they take
an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they
alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the
power.
They, and they alone, should
be held accountable by the peo-
ple who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the
gumption to manage their own
employees.
We should vote all of them out
of office and cleanup theirmess!

Goodfellows seek donations
To the editor:
Our organization is in need of
funding to maintain the level of
help and assistancewe provide.
For over 50 years, the City of
Wayne Goodfellow's mission has
been to ensure that there is No
ChildWithout AChristmas.
We also help seniors and well as
kids, through educational support
(scholarships), food, clothing and
medial supplies. We try and help as
many families as possible, serving
200 to 225 families each year.
In these current troubling eco-
nomic times, we find it harder each
year to raise the funds necessary to
continue our work. For the past
several years, we have been forced
to withdraw funds from our
reserves to help with expenses
above and beyondwhat we bring in
fromdonations and fundraisers.
We are asking for your support.
Our organization has obtained
501(C) 3 tax exempt status to help
those who help us. Your contribu-
tion will help to ensure that the
City of Wayne Goodfellows contin-
ues to keep providing help for
many years to come.
Thank you for your considera-
tion.
ShawnBell, president

and common purpose. While it is
pretty obvious that these educa-
tors are underpaid for the job they
do, the fact that they are willing to
share the sacrifice as the district
suffers through a $12 million
shortfall from the state, proves
that they are interested in far
more than the paycheck they
bring home.
We commend them for this sac-
rifice and are fully aware of the
hardship it can and will impose
onmany of them. Northville is for-
tunate to have a staff willing to
take this kind of loss to prevent
drastic consequences befalling
the students they teach.
We're sure that many of them
are pretty unhappy with the wage
cuts, but we're just as sure that
they would rather all be unhappy
than some of them face dire finan-
cial consequences.
The teachers, and the district,
did the right thing. They've taught
us all a lessonby example.
