    The begining of the Progressive era in 1899 the question that has failed to be ask when proposing legislation is "does the constitution authorize this." Since Progressives started to use populist pap to appease the majority of the population this question has been asked less and less. The elected class has learned to pander in such a way that by giving the usefull idiots a couple of crums from the table then they will be satisfied.Rome learned a similar lesson. Give the people bread and circus's and they were essentially happy. But Rome fell into their own trap. By spending more and coddling a larger percentage of society each year fewer Romans were willing to sacrifice their life of luxary to actually serve Rome. As a result the hordes of barbarians who had previously been at war with Rome were paid to serve Rome. As a result those who then protected Rome had no real vested interest in Rome's survival. We find ourselves in a similar situation here in the USA today. The elected class gives the populace just enough to keep them quiet while others are paid to protect the empire. Notice if you will the large and increasing numbers of foreign born soldiers in our armed forces. We offer them the exact same thing that Rome did for service, citizenship. Check out the number of takers as opposed to makers that now inhabit this nation. We are at the precipice. One small nudge and it all goes over the edge to crash to pieces on the rocks of greed. That is the real enemy. We have to many in this nation that choose to serve themselves before they serve the counrty. Present elected types of both parties included.
