"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow."
--James Madison, Federalist No. 62, 1788.
Is this not prophetic ??? It's too bad that our youth have not been taught the lessons of history and the warnings of those brilliant minds that have gone before us. If they had learned those important lessons, perhaps then our legislators would never have been allowed to create a 73,608 page Federal Tax Code. Or how about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) aka “Obamacare”…. that’s 2,700 pages but it seems that few of our legislators even know what’s on those pages. Or as then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi explained… “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it”. Right, how did she ever get to be Speaker of the House, what happened, were they all out of simpletons and so they had to take a moron? Now that they passed it, I guess they will be able to explain it to the rest of us… right ??? God help us… wait… maybe He can. Let’s look at what King Solomon had to say on the subject:
“The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words”.
Proverbs 10:19 (MSG) Ahhhhh there’s the rub, the “WISE” measure their words, and where in Washington are you going to find the “wise” ??? Right, we are doomed.
