Yes, we have. I am a mental midget compared to these highly educated 'public servants', those that were elected to be Statesmen and leaders of the Free Republic. They are leading us down their chosen path in their lust for power.
1Tim.6 [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
We also will suffer the sorrows of their greed; for freedom is never free.
