For many years, Congress always said that the President's
budget was "dead on arrival" because they never followed it. The mandate is that all tax bills must begin in the House, the President is supposed to submit a proposed budget and the Senate confirms appointments and treaties. One of the charges against R.M. Nixon was that he refused to spend all the money that Congress appropriated, he exercised administrative powers. So as part of the post-Watergate "reforms" Congress wrote the law on the budget and President Ford, a long term member of Congress signed it into law. The change in the budget process exactly coincides with the run-away national debt and increasing deficit spending. The change, all budget items are expected to increase 10% per year so 110% become the base amount. This is baseline budgeting. Also, the President is REQUIRED by law to spend every dime Congress appropriates, he has only one administrative power, he can veto a bill. This failure of George Bush, and his signing of McCain-Fiengold, may be his worst failures as President. Look at the books that have graphs of the Federal debt and note that the debt was level from the end of WWII to the Viet Nam war, with just spikes, but after Watergate the budget, debt and spending went nearly straight up. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.

I flew from Ohio to Florida early this week. The third leg was from Valdosta (KVLD) GA to West Palm Beach (KPBI) FL. My originally filed route was amended twice before I got 25 miles. JAX Center gave me PHK (Pahokee VOR) as my final fix before KPBI. As I was nearing the east shore of Lake Okeechobee, the approach controller asked me if I was going direct to some intersection. I responded that I was flying direct PHK. He then told me PHK had disappeared in one of the hurricanes last year. I told him that I was going to ask if any had reported that the VOR was out of service, as I had not been receiving any signal on the nav receiver. There was no NOTAM in any of my briefings, center gave me an amended clearance with the fix included, and it is charted on the new charts (IFR and Sectionals). Only the local controllers told seem to know the navaid did not exist. This one gets a NASA Form 277. It was probably way past computer Notam status. Most likely in the printed version. Did you check the updates in your IAPs? Michelle |

Budget driven by Congressional methods, inflation was
keeping score of the devalued money. 1960, Federal budget was about 88 Billion dollars, 1962 JFK's first budget was 101 Billion dollars and it caused an outrage for a peace-time budget. JFK proposed 20 billion to go to moon in ten years, then LBJ had the Great Society which was just welfare and entitlement spending. Even so, it was kept in check by the budget policy laws and the Presidential powers of veto and impoundment. Inflation is caused by monetary policy and the printing press. Wages and prices follow the declining value of the money trying to keep hourly equivalent value. WWII was financed by bonds at fixed interest rates. Some government accountant figured out that inflation reduced the cost to the government of repaying those guaranteed loans [bonds] which means that only the government profits from inflation. Banks and companies or individuals are harmed by the loss of value of their money and debt. It is so easy to spend money and have nothing to show but debt a year later. College kids buy pizza and beer with a Visa card, government buys votes with "free" medical care and food. Rather than building and then maintaining the roads and bridges, the government buys more votes with some "new" programs. I would like to see spending follow the Constitutional priorities, military and defense first, but that will not happen, too may special interests seeking government money for their private projects [stadiums come to mind] rather than the essential services that only a government can provide [defense of the nation]. -- James H.
