Tuesday's editorial cited President Bush as the cause of many ills, when in fact, it is Congress that passed those bills. The president, after all, has little authority. Mostly, he can start and stop wars. In the end, it's the legislature that introduces and passes bills, and they can override the president's veto.
Start looking at what Congress is doing, pandering to every entitlement, to our ever increasing level of ease - the "what's in it for me" syndrome. Will somebody please reintroduce the line-item veto and get rid of those greedy earmarks?
How can you pay for an education without government assistance? A job, a scholarship, , a savings account - work and more work, not grant and more grant. The more government intervention in our affairs, the more liberty we lose.
The Alligator editor should make some good suggestions and stop blaming a lame-duck president.
