“America’s prosperity was not a gift from the government or anyone else. Free enterprise, not government, is the source from which our blessings flow.”

I think that this quote by Ronald Reagan on prosperity just about perfectly sums up why we need to be mindful of government promises of prosperity.

Yes, the government can implement policies that don’t constrain citizen action enough to limit wealth creation too much and we should always support politicians that promise those policies. But, frankly, any government action will only hurt the economy. The government might be here to help, but it’s like your idiot coworker that offers to help; even if its intentions are benign, its actions will likely end up hurting what you’re doing.

That’s an important fact to remember during this Chinese flu crisis. The formerly booming Trump economy has been devastated by China’s irresponsible behavior, so we’re looking for solutions. Congress voted for a $2 trillion “stimulus” plan that’s not really a stimulus but is rather a government handout and wealth redistribution scheme.

In our efforts to bring back the Trump economy, politicians and citizens alike seem to be forgetting what made that economy so strong in the first place: deregulation, tax cuts, and pro-capitalism policies.

I’ve been watching the documentary on the Reagans. It’s a massive Left Wing hit job but it’s got some great footage of the Reagans that makes it worth watching anyway. Since you already know they will be spouting a bunch of crap in death about a couple they couldn’t come close to bothering in life it’s a good watch. Plus you feel kind of good knowing that it eats away at them so badly. I will be watching part 3 tonight.
