So many of our Institutions such as Hospitals, Schools, Universities, Libraries etc. where founded and funded by the wealthy of the times of their own free will. For some crazy reason, this concept has been largely abandoned in this country and the government has taken over as the provider of all things ala "Julia" from cradle to grave.<br /> <br />No matter what government does, it will never completely eradicate poverty. As a Christian, I believe that helping others of my own free will, in whatever way I can is a source of blessing from my God. No where in scripture do you read that this is governments role. It is especially disturbing when my tax dollars are used for purposes contrary to my Christian beliefs.<br /><br />Congress needs to get back to the basics of what governing is all about---Pass a budget, cut all unnecessary spending, and reduce our debt. <br />STnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-61117000899429033212013-01-14T00:20:25.499-05:002013-01-14T00:20:25.499-05:00NJ Congressman Frelinghuysen, acting as liaison fo...NJ Congressman Frelinghuysen, acting as liaison for his region, added a $33 billion amendment for longer-term reconstruction.ReturnToExcellence.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149859814999976879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-85581098778666772812013-01-12T23:23:43.937-05:002013-01-12T23:23:43.937-05:00Looking back at how Americans handled catastrophes...Looking back at how Americans handled catastrophes in those many cities, over the years, gives me a sense of pride in the human spirit. Thanks for pointing out how we the people have helped each other to recover from crises without government aid! How in the world can we ever get back to that mindset?BDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-49412470154930468442013-01-12T18:58:09.549-05:002013-01-12T18:58:09.549-05:00Doug - As you know, America has been "piggin ...Doug - As you know, America has been "piggin out" at the breast of its socialistic tit since the Johnson Administration. Anyone who attempts to restrict the flow is committing political suicide. As Warren Buffett would say, "the tide went out and we can see who is swimming naked." In our case the tide went out and we can see who the Rinos are. The tragedy is, the biggest Rino is New Jersey’s Republican Governor. <br />SSnoreply@blogger.com
