Think About It

"Treasury pay czar limits pay at automakers, banks."

This simple AP headline says a lot. An awful lot. Have you thought about it?

How sweeping these powers are for an official, who:

• was not elected by the people
• in a position unconfirmed by the other two branches of government
• in an action unauthorized by the Constitution
• controlling funds as if they were his own
• to manage a couple dozen companies funded and even partially owned by the government
• determining the pay grade for individuals of which he has no direct assessment of
• under a title that is defined as, "...an autocrat; an absolute ruler..."

File this under more "Hope and Change", but stop and think about it first. After all, this is happening right under your nose in what is supposed to be a Republic.
