LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
The Biden administration has a lot of plans...
In his first 100 days in office, President Joe Biden has already proposed “The American Rescue Plan” ($1.9 trillion), “The American Jobs Plan” ($2.3 trillion), and “The American Families Plan” ($1.8 trillion). That’s $6 trillion so far. These plans... Do they mean families need to be rescued from jobs or your job needs to be rescued from you or you need to be rescued
But as the poet Robert Burns said... The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley. (“Gang aft a-gley” being Scots dialect meaning “after taxes and inflation.”) Certainly one of the best-laid schemes of men (mice really didn’t come into it, though I’ve got some in the chicken coop) was the U.S. Constitution. And a notable feature of the Constitution is that it contains no plans . The Constitution guarantees our freedom, but – on purpose – it doesn’t tell us what to do with that freedom. We wouldn’t be free if it did. A leaky chicken coop and no pickup in which to haul away the old shingles aren’t making me feel more free than I felt before
from your family? I can’t quite tell... The Biden administration has a lot of
explaining to do – as the planning continues and the $6 trillion of your money gets spent. Six trillion dollars is about $18,000 for every person in the U.S. Hope you weren’t planning to do anything with that 18 grand... I was planning on buying a used pickup truck and a new roof for the chicken coop.
