article: Worldcon, Encon, Fedcon, by Don Stott a cynical view of Federal Govt failures gold-eagle.com an excerpt: Politicians absolutely adore Fedcon. By means of Fedcon, politicians have fostered a world class army of non-achievers, welfare recipients, hangers on, and dregs…who can all vote. A wise sage named Lord Acton, remarked a long time ago, that a democracy always fails when the voters realize they can vote themselves unlimited largess from the treasury. The voters always install the politicos in office, who promise the most swill from the public trough, known as the Fedcon to me. Greasy Senators, and slimy Representatives take great delight in any supposed or invented "need" for legislation that awards Fedcon Paperman for whatever hair-brained scheme they may invent. "Oh we need farm aid, aid for the poor, Medicaid, Social Security, aid for heat, electric, and water bills for the lain off, subsidies for colleges, universities, schools, transport, police, firemen," and the list is endless. It is with these handouts, that the slimeballs continue to stay in those posh, ludicrous offices in DC, where they continue to support and introduce to their fellows, a continuous barrage of inane legislation, which daily erodes our once proud land. The difference between America today, and a pure feudal state, is inconsequential. We are all serfs, my friends, and do whatever the masters in DC say we will do, and with nary a whimper, for the most part.
