Disciplining a Spoiled Brat

[Keith Broaders]

Our government is like a spoiled child. When a child has a set of rules given to them and they know that hey will never be disciplined for violating the rules, they will continue to misbehave.

When the parents of a disobedient child does not enforce the rules they actually encourage their children to misbehave. Do you think it would be a good idea to give your irresponsible teenage son your credit card and expect him not to abuse the privilege? Giving Congress the authority to spend your money is like giving access to your bank account to a thirsty alcoholic.

Is then out of control child to blame,  or is the it is the parent who refuses to hold their child accountable. Our government officials like children can not resist temptation and both need to be supervised by a responsible parent.

The Constitution is not a suggestion, it is the rulebook for government officials. Only when the Constitution is strictly obeyed and enforeced can it prevent the abuse of power by our servant government.
