It's impossible to turn
on your TV now without your brain being Nuked with non-stop and relentless pity stories around the world. Earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorists, immigrants, disease. It's all too much. There is, in fact, so much going on that it behooves all of us to stop and rationalize the whole thing further, to see if it makes sense to adopt a new federal law called the Citizens First Doctrine which in effect would mandatorily require all government officials to provide for the substantial need of the U.S. citizens FIRST before handing out other emergency relief budgets or World Aid as we know it to other foreign destinations. Consider this: the governor of New York handed over some $22 million dollars to the relief effort of New Orleans. But now, in the aftermath of the disaster, the winter fuel prices in the north country have doubled, and the Low Income Energy Assistance Program does NOT plan to make any increase adjustments to poor Veterans using the program to absorb the flux caused by the very state that we gave all of our money to. DUH !! Granted this doesn't happen very often, but with all that is happening in the world today, this has the potential for frequency and mission-creep. We have yet to bail out our own people in 2 states in the South, and now here we are shipping out relief to Pakastan and Afghanistan for earthquake relief. What to do? A Citizens First statute would establish an economic math formula and safety-valve for the courts, the legislature, and the executive branch agencies to use, to compute out in forecasting models the upcoming needs of current U.S. citizens to absorb unexpected fluxes of basic necessities such as food, medical, housing, energy, and clothing. After the universal program adjustments are in place to provide for the Citizens First, only then could a recomputed amount for world or domestic relief be identified and released for good will pursuits. You can be sure that nobody is doing this right now. The ATT Wire Service today has issued an article quoting Low Income Energy Assistance officials as saying that low income people will be forced to choose between heat in their homes, or food or medicine this winter. This does not bode well after seeing the governor of New York give all of our money away to New Orleans. What good is emergency relief if it causes poverty or substandard conditions to the people living here? This whole concept of Citizens First may also force a more isolationist stance by the U.S. on world affairs matters, but one thing is for certain, it will stop giving the United Nations and their subversive non-governmental organizations (NGO) a blank check from the U.S. Treasury over every little nationbuilding project whim that comes flying in through their doors. Enough already ! We are already being terrorized over the Social Security debate and the nuclear meltdown of VA benefits for those who are rightfully eligible. To aggravate the economy situation with some blowhard who wants to give all our money away for some upcoming election agenda is something that we need to start planning ahead for. It's becoming apparent that the U.S. wealth is out there for the grand-drainoff if something isn't done to safeguard it from the army of Tweedle-Dees who make a relentless pursuit of elected office. The sorrowful, tragic, and overwhelming matters which are emerging in world affairs outside of our borders are slowly sucking us into certain financial collapse here at home. Then there is the bungling, malpracticed, and incompetent court system who is all too glad to misinterpret our law rulings so that a statute for US, eventually becomes a statute for everybody ---- even for those who aren't citizens here. Under the original design of the Social Security disability laws, nobody ever contemplated that chronic, career drug users would be deemed as legitimate "disability" cases nor would the voluntarily obese. And how about the illegal immigrant who crosses Mexican borders pregnant and then has the baby here only to have the kid qualify for welfare assistance? How much more can that mistake go on before somebody wakes up and says "Hey, that ruling sucks!" This country is steering in a direction where it has to learn to just say "NO" and walk away, or to lose what we have as a way of life altogether. It would never be too early for Congress to start the preliminary drafts and debates for a new and sweeping Citizens First Statute. Of course if we continue to get more of the same bungling and useless nonresponsive, nonanticipatory lack of action that we have BEEN getting from Congress, maybe we will just wake up one morning with a panicky headline topping the news that the U.S. Treasury has just filed for bankruptcy and Tim Russert of Meet The Press wants to know if there are any plans to draft an emergency bailout statute called Citizens First !!
