merican in just seven days and just one week now to show you just how rare that is take a look at this the average number of work absences due to labor disputes going all the way back to the one nine hundred seventy s. so forty years ago there was an average of about two hundred ninety work stoppages involving one thousand workers or more every single year those are workers walking off the job demanding better pay better benefits better working conditions and usually successful in getting their employers to comply at least somewhat and on average there were two hundred ninety of them every year in the seventy's that's a lot but that number fell dramatically over the next decade or so thanks in large part to the destruction of labor unions in the private sector economy by the one nine hundred ninety s. there was an average of only thirty five work stoppages every year and in recent years there's hardly been any in two thousand and nine there were just five stoppages and here we are today looking at two in just the last week and this is indicative of a larger trend we've seen over the la

evenly divided, when those who exercise those powers are devoted to the constitution and when the merican people insist on it. that is the great question for our generation. are we allowing the constitution to disintegrate before our eyes? the constitution makes very clear that only congress may make laws and that the principle responsibility of the executive is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. yet, the executive branch is increasingly asserted sweeping powers to unilaterally nullify laws that it dislikes, to pick and choose who must obey the law and who need not and even to impose entirely new laws that congress has explicitly refused to enact. james madison, the father of the constitution, said that the single most important feature was giving the legislative and not the executive branch the decision over war or peace. yet, the executive now asserts the authority to attack other nations without congressional authorization. the bill of rights protect every american from retributions, for expressing their political beliefs. it protects a free press from intimidation. it

program born out of the best of intentions because deadbeat dads were not, in a small minority of mericans, different races, different backgrounds, some even well off, were just not assisting financially with children that they had fathered, and so the government wanted to help. so in the mid 1960's, here came the great society, we want to help these people. these poor moms that had to deal with deadbeat dads that wouldn't help. it will help, give them a check for every child they can have out of wedlock. as people that study governments and government assistance can well document, when you pay for an activity, you get more of that activity. so we went from 6% to 7% of children in america being born without a father in the home to now over 40%, still seems to be heading upward toward 50%, so the united states government in the 1960's, not by what it said, but by where it put its money, decided we'd be a lot better off with more fatherless homes and nobody was saying that and i don't believe anybody intended that result but it's what the ct of paying people for an activity, what they get. y
