       Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) speaking to the Republican 44th counterfeit CONgress (elected in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment) commits himself to reducing the publicly held share of the national debt by one-third over the next ten years:

       My budget has funded a responsible increase in our ongoing operations. It has funded our Nation’s important priorities. It has protected Social Security and Medicare. And our surpluses are big enough that there is still money left over.

       Many of you have talked about the need to pay down our national debt. I listened, and I agree. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren to act now, and I hope you will join me to pay down $2 trillion in debt during the next 10 years. At the end of those 10 years, we will have paid down all the debt that is available to retire. That is more debt repaid more quickly than has ever been repaid by any nation at any time in history.

       Postscript: After eight years in office Bush did not reduce the national debt, but instead nearly doubled it–so much for conservative Republicans!

       [T]he Constitution is what the judges say it is.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (1910-1916),
chief justice of the United states (1930-1941).

       The supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down Whitman v. American Trucking Associations, CONgress may delegate its legislative Powers to Federal regulatory agencies.

       NOTE: This decision effectively nullifies the three Vesting Clauses of the Constitution for the united States:

• Article I, Section 1—“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States … a Senate and House of Representatives.”
• Article II, Section 1 [Clause 1]—”The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
• Article III, Section 1 [Clause 1]—”The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may … establish.”

Levy and Mellor write, “The Court essentially re-wrote Article I, section [sic] 1 to read: ‘All legislative Powers herein granted shall be shared between the Congress of the United States and several hundred unelected agencies.’”
