Mark Steyn on the imperial presidency

Mark Steyn on the "Imperial Presidency." He has a number of good quotes.

Rick Perry: “I’ll work every day to try to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can.”

Steyn: "Why exactly does the president need a 40-car escort to drive past his subjects in Dead Moose Junction? It doesn’t communicate strength, but only waste, and decadence."

"A post-prosperity America that has dug itself into a multi-trillion-dollar hole will eventually have to stop digging. When it does so, the government of the United States will have to learn to do more with less. A good place to start would be restoring the lifestyle of the president to something Calvin Coolidge might recognize."
