Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) videotaped this message for The Corner as Congress prepared to go into its summer recess without its basic work having even been started. The budget process hasn’t even yet begun, and while politicians stream home to their districts to campaign for re-election, the people should rightly wonder why they should be allowed to return after getting an incomplete in this session of Congress. Jordan tried to get the ball rolling by offering an amendment to the Transportation appropriation bill just now getting considered — usually a haven for pork-barrel projects — that would require the federal government to roll back spending to FY2008 levels, which would shave off about a trillion dollars.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein
