"... the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
In case you haven't noticed, that's exactly where we now find ourselves.
It is despicable for the US government to be OPENLY soliciting for corporations to accomplish things forbidden to our government by the US Constitution. Indeed, I would argue that such solicitation is itself unconstitutional.
But we live in a society where oath keepers are imprisoned while oath breakers go free and are allowed to enrich themselves at public expense.
Personally, I care less about what The Founders wanted than about what I want. And I want my government to stop lying, cheating, swindling, and making war, here are abroad.
