In The Beginning

The Government’s fundamental mission is derived from the Constitution: “…to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The Congress authorizes and agencies implement programs as missions and initiatives evolve over time in pursuit of key public services and objectives, such as providing for national defense, promoting health care, fostering income security, boosting agricultural productivity, providing veteran benefits and services, facilitating commerce, supporting housing and the transportation systems, protecting the environment, contributing to the security of energy resources, and helping States provide education.
The only conclusion to be drawn from observations of Bush et. al over the past seven years is that America is no longer a Democratic Republic. It is now owned by foreign governments/Corporations, governed by the billionaires here and abroad, and secured by a private army that has no accountablility to the Congress or the Executive Branch.
“Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.” Aristotle. The Greek name means “the best of all.” Its root is the same as for aristocrat. He used the word despotism instead of aristocracy so as not to give himself a bad name. An aristocracy doesn’t have to have all of the power, but a despot does.
