WALBERG'S GOT A BLOG!


http://walberg.house.gov/Blog/

I have two recommendations for the new blog:

1. Open up a comment section. Sure, there is good, bad, and ugly with opening up a comment section, but the good far outweighs the bad. It also shows that one is not afraid of criticism, even the childish jabs coming from Mr. or Mrs. "Anonymous."

2. Link our site to the blogroll. A local access program that deals exclusively with local and state politics would offset the high-roller blogs such as RedState and TownHall. Then again, our YouTube would be even better! To top it off, our having numerous vlogs honored in various categories due to feedback and viewership would make this a win-win.

SIDE NOTE: The Congressman could set up a comment format that would take anonymity out of the equation. It would require names and emails for submission. He could even go so far as to make it so that all comments require pre-approval from the administrator.

PALEO CONTRA WALBERG????

Congressman Walberg: "Providing health insurance for children who otherwise can't afford it is an endeavor worthy of the resources and time of the U.S. Congress."

Alright, now I've admitted that Walberg is no strict constructionist, but this is absurd. After spending a decent amount of time flipping through my extremely worn copy of the Constitution, I have been hard pressed to find any evidence that this matter is within the scope of congressional responsibly. For the life of me, I could not find a single line in that beloved federal document granting the Congress any authority whatsoever over providing health insurance for children of families that are too rich for currently available welfare programs.

Regardless, we are all too aware of the tendency our politicians have to cite the grossly abused "general welfare" clause. But Congressman Walberg knows full well that this won't do. Were he to resort to such reasoning, the mooring for his beliefs pertaining to a constitutionally limited federal government would be uprooted faster than he could mumble "Leviathan."

To add insult to injury, he mourned the fact that Congress didn't return to the "original intent" of the bill. Why, Congressman, should they? If they have abandoned the original intent of the Constitution, why not something of much less importance?

In the end, Congressman Walberg was right about one thing: SCHIP is a train wreck. Too bad he didn't see that it was a constitutional train wreck from the get-go.
