Few would have guessed that the President and his administration would suspend one of the fundamental rights of man -- habeous corpus -- thereby arresting and holding indefinitely without charge or review before a court. Few would have guessed that we would have accumulated over 1 Trillion dollars in new debt, and are running deficits as far as the eye can see, at a rate of $400B per year -- and that, in response, our President would suggest more tax cuts.
