I can’t recall who said, the American “people get the government they deserve” but more accurate words were never spoken.
We, as Americans, DO decide how our taxes will be spent. We ALL elect a Congress to represent our wishes in such matters. Where the American people have been remiss in their individual duty is in continuing to elect, and re-elect, those who do NOT represent our wishes. When this happens, it proves to the politician that he or she can DO whatever he or she wishes with no consequences.
The Congress, not the President, controls the purse strings of our government. If we are to ever regain control of our government, we must become more adapt at monitoring Congressional actions and vote for a new representative when necessary.
