Michael Peroutka: State of the Union - I'm From The Government and I'm Here to Help You? (January 21, 2004)
"It used to get a big laugh among conservatives and Republicans to tell any story which contained the words, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
But, increasingly, what you hear President Bush say, in so many words, in so many areas, is that --- well, he’s from the government and he’s here to help us --- even if his help is unConstitutional.
In his recent State of the Union address, Mr. Bush praised his own Medicare program, which will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
He praised his latest immigration scheme, which will allow millions of illegal aliens to stay here “legally.”
He wants to double Federal-funding of abstinence programs. He wants $300 million to help ex-prisoners get jobs.
He pushed once again for his so-called faith-based initiative --- a terrible and dangerous idea that entices churches to become welfare recipients.
And the President --- who has asked for more than $50 billion for his Dept. of Education --- bragged about how he increased Federal funding for our schools by 36 percent since 2001.
What do all these programs have in common? They are all unConstitutional --- everyone of them.
At the end of his address, President Bush told a story about a 10-year-old girl, Ashley Pearson, who wrote him a letter. She asked Mr. Bush to tell her if he knew of anything she could do to help someone.
Well, Ashley, wherever you are, I would suggest, respectfully, that you can help Mr. Bush, and all of us, by writing him another letter suggesting, please, that he re-read and obey our Constitution."
