Oh, Yea! What about Separation of Church and State? One of Our Founding Fathers says:

"He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him
through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to

Guide and plan your life in prayer.
"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall
leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall
not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned."

President Eisenhower Selecting California Governor Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
In order to get the large California delegation vote in the 1952 Republican National Convention, Ike promised his first
Supreme Court appointment to California governor Earl Warren. That was a backroom deal.
The silence from churches across America on Earl Warren's liberal court paved the way for many more liberal decisions that
now has set precendents for the effort to remove "Christianity" from our public institutions, including public schools.
Today, there are 7 million more Americans working for the government (21.5 million total) than
in all manufacturing industries combined (industry total is 14.5 million).
As a result, we have shifted from an economy of people who made things to an economy of people who tax,
regulate, subsidize, and outlaw things. We certainly have more rule-makers and red-tape
dispensers than ever before.

As fate would have it, the first vacancy was for Chief Justice. At the time, Earl Warren had a tantrum and claimed that
he was entitled to be chief since Ike had promised the "first vacancy." Ike eventually selected Earl and later expressed
regrets over his decision. Earl Warren remained on the Supreme Court for many years and gave us a long series of
liberal decisions that has uprooted many of the family values in our society over the course of years.
LBJ ...
To hide the cost of the Viet Nam war, LBJ pooled all independent trust funds into one giant pot. Because a stew obscures
its exact ingredients, the subsequent budget stew became the tax-raising tool of choice for government, without ever using
those dirty words.
Consequently, over the past years, payroll tax rates keep increasing and yet the trust funds are on the verge of bankruptcy.
The actions taken when government shutdown illustrate how the treasurey can take money from one trust fund and transfer it
to another with impunity. such activity would be criminal in the corporate world, but not in Washington.
Our politicians are still dancing to LBJ's tune as America's trust funds boil away. Few have the guts to risk their career
today for the future of our children. To do it right, all trust funds must be taken off budget and the funds invested for
real growth and savings. As long as it remains in one pot, payroll taxes will continue to rise to reduce the appearance of
the deficit. It is time our politicians take action.
