Barack Obama is beginning to announce his economic plans for his Presidency.  One of this plans, according to The New York Post<\/a> is to stimulate the economy with massive government programs–public works projects to overhaul the country’s infrastructure.  Not surprisingly, Congressional Democrats are willing to back the plan.  <\/p>\n

S. Constitution commented that the document was designed to govern a body of people who took their morality and integrity from God.  It is becoming more and more obvious that until we go back to some sort of moral standard in this country that includes ethics and morality, we will be essentially ungovernable.  All the laws in the world will not stop dishonest people from taking advantage of any legal loophole they can find–internal morality (a conscience) will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
