More Laws Less Justice

[Keith Broaders]

Since Comgress first met on March 4th in 1789 Congress has passed over 30,000 Federal Laws and/or resolutions. Every bill signed by the President should comply with the powers enumerated in the Constitution.

There are over 10,000 bills and resolutions currently being considered before the United States Congress, but only 27 bills proposed in 2023 were signed into law 

President Joe Biden vetoed 9 bills in 2023. There have been 2,593 presidential vetoes since 1789 and only 112 were over turned.

Any Congressional legislation that benefits some of the people at the expense of others is unconstitutional,

The Constitution only allows Comgress to collect taxes to pay our debts, provide for our common defense and promote the general welfare, Collecting taxes for any other purpose is prohibited.

In 2023 Contrss passed bills and spent 10 trillion dollars  and had to had to borrow over three trilliom dollars just to balamce the budget.

Before the President signs any bill into law he should determine if the bill complies with the Constitution, and if it can be funded without having to go deeper in debt.

Our Nation now has a National debt of over 30 trillion dollars and must pay over 5 trillion dollars this year in interest to finance the debt. If Congress directed the Treasury Deoartment to issue our money we would not need to borrow money to fund the government.

The job of Congress is to protect our rights, not to provide us with benefits paid for with other people's money.
