It's Like....

George knew what was coming or sompthin'.....

"The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position." --George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796
Sigh.....

ALL the Founding Fathers knew!
They just survived beating back that type of government, and were terrified it could happen here.
