JACK'S WINNING WORDS 10/25/06
“We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.”
(Silent Cal) Is there something pending in your life that should be taken care of? Do you know who Silent Cal is without looking it up? ;-) Jack

Calvin Coolidge, probably my favorite president. Known for doing nothing, the best posture for a politician. If we truly had a "do nothing congress" as the press suggests we would be in fabulous shape. Most of our ills begin when the congress "does something."

I suggest candidates would do better running on the the platform of, "Elect me and I will do no harm, I will do nothing."

Since I have an hour until my plane leaves (headed to Denver) I will tell you my least favorite President, Grover Cleveland. He signed the bill that created the IRS and begot such things as the Federal Reserve, repeal of the states appointments of senators, and thus began a long tradition of earmarks and pigs at the public trough. Politicians knew way before 1913 that they could eat from the public trough, it was Cleveland that made the small trough into the buffet of endless portions and proportions. Cleveland may properly be credited for the all you can eat buffet congress enjoys daily. When it is all you can eat and someone else picks up the bill (us) there is bound tto be gluttony.
