"THE FOURTH BRANCH"

Our founding fathers constructed a document so unique and so remarkable as to form a system run by, of all things, the people; as Franklin is quoted when answering the lady's question, "What kind of a government did you gives us" with this response, "A Republic, if you can keep it".
Our Constitution gave us three branches of Government, separate but equal. The first being the Legislative branch, made up of the people's choice.  The second branch, Executive, was expected to enforce the laws written and passed by the People's Representatives while the third branch devoted their time to making sure that those laws followed the intent of the Constitution.  There you have it.  Simple and easy to understand.
Two hundred years later we start seeing the fourth branch wedge itself into our Government.  What  fourth branch?  You may ask.  Bureaucrats, hired hands with no authority except that given them by a lazy and inept Legislature.  Those bureaucrats, not elected by the people, only hired hands, many who have made a career of spending taxpayer's money while writing rules and regulations that amount to laws.  Even those good, hard working people in the "fourth" branch are part of the problem!  "A Republic, if you can keep it".....Medicineman!
