We the people can still apply ourselves in the manner our forefathers would want us to. Everyone in America today can agree on how when it comes to having important Bills passed through congress the process is very slow, or produces no results. In less than a couple days a Bill was passed guaranteeing that all former Presidents’ of the United States will have lifetime Secret Service Protection. Why did this Bill pass so easily, by both parties’ votes, while a Bill like the one for Hurricane Sandy Relief was voted against by sixty seven political leaders in Congress? Our leaders today believe they’re realists. The people can prepare the next generation, educating them so they'll recognize the mistakes being made by our leaders today, we can share with them the vision our founders had.
Our political leaders today foresee how things will only grow worse for the people; our anger will increase, especially once we recognize how profusely our nation is bleeding out and the reasons why. The public is not so ignorant to the reality of how ridiculous our government spending has been. Senator Leader Mitch McConnell said, "The president seems to think that if all he talks about are taxes, and that's all reporters write about, somehow the rest of us will magically forget that government spending is completely out of control and that he himself has been insisting on balance." Senator (Tom) Coburn issued a study that showed taxpayers are funding Moroccan pottery classes, promoting shampoo and other beauty products for cats and dogs and a video game that allows them to relive prom night," McConnell said. "Get this: Taxpayers also just spent $325,000 on a robotic squirrel named Robo Squirrel." The President and our leaders’ in Congress recognize that they need to look out for themselves and their families first; they need to prepare while the people are still too unaware by just how irreversible our debt crisis is. The next generation doesn’t have to be the same; their views don’t have to be so pessimistic, or so hopeless. We will produce the next generation of leaders.

This Bill protecting former Presidents is going to cost millions of dollars, even though former leaders in our nation already have millions to spend on security if need be. Many in Congress can be nearly unrecognizable once they’re done making easy money pretending to be leaders, however the President will need the added protection; for as an individual whom more so would the average American blame for our nations fall? This recent Bill was passed because Congress recognizes the protection will be quite necessary. Our leaders know there is no fixing the problem with our nation’s debt, it’s far too great and they’re running out of temporary solutions. Since our nation is on the verge of collapsing, and there is no preventing the inevitable why not quickly pass a Bill which will provide much needed security for our former Presidents’, and soon to be?
We the people don’t come first for many of our political leaders today, but according to our founding fathers this should be a requirement. They view us in the same vein as a delusional unfit single parent may view their children; responsibility they’d rather avoid, an easy paycheck, and a cash benefit come tax time. They do all they can to keep us distracted, giving us some junk so we’ll momentarily forget we’re unloved, while wanting us to remain ignorant as they do what they want for themselves first. They justify themselves as leaders because of their label, or their esteemed seat in the House, while being focused on acquiring personal wealth and a life of ease. Many of the politicians hardly take initiative to a stand for anything worthwhile, for this could result in them losing what they care most about; their comfort. (There is no Mr. Smith in Washington today.) Imagine an unfit parent declaring they're entitled to respect from their tax write off, (while their selfish desires are being placed before their child’s hopes, dreams, or needs); many of our political leaders today believe they can fool themselves, (and the people), into believing they’re likewise entitled.
We the people can still apply ourselves in the manner our forefathers would want us to. But will we? The peaceful solution would be to educate our children and prepare them so that their future government will truly be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
“…This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Abraham Lincoln
