Name comes from a series of educational history tapes we were made to listen to in grade school. Narrated by “The Old Hoosier.”

We need a new movie; “Honey, I shrunk the bureaucracy!”, starring Ted Cruz or Scott Walker. Paul Ryan not in the running.

Greetings PGalt.

Seems our state isn’t on the list because our freshman governor hasn’t got the gonads to shrink the union protected bureaucracy. RTW didn’t include the State goonions as you know.

Exactly. Union protected bureaucracy, socialist protected bureaucracy, bureaucracy protected bureaucracy.

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help. - Bastiat

Happy New Year, RushLake. It's always GRRRRREAT to see you.
