I still remember when Obama announced Chu as Energy Sec. He said that wind and solar were going to create “millions of jobs”. No one in the media called him on it. Millions? Really?
Our children have been snatched from us and indoctrinated for decades. We are a nation of individuals who have been numbered and polled and censored into irrelevance.
The train of tyranny is unstoppable.
Long term financial success for the USA is an inverse correlation with the size of Federal government.
Same minds that created the problem....are not capable of finding and implementing the solution.
That is for the American people to do. When the Feds get out of the way...or more ominously...need to be moved out of the way.
Please.
We have a Praetorian Guard public workers army.
We have city full, state full of welfare, SS, Medicare/Medicaid welfare mobs.
Half the farm economy is directly on the public teat.
We have a financial and academic elite subsisting on either government money, or assumption of risk and failure from them to the citizens at large.
We have a venal, stupid, ornamental and degenerative political class.
We have a dis or non educated working, middle class and small business that can be wiped out in months.
We have a military of amoral, beurocratic, political dependent managers, disconnected from local, state or national community.
We have the Federal Reserve which are high priests that get it wrong, consistently, and blame everyone else as sinners.
Yeah, other than a election hissy fit, or two, these trends are going to change how?
When you start making these crooks and liars accountable; you will see results.
When I call 911, a police car pulls up in front of my house with the town’s name on the side. Right behind it are a town fire truck and a town ambulance.
I can live with town government. They bear watching but overall they’re pretty good at filling the potholes and keeping the streetlights on, though I’m not big on public education. Town services are worth what I pay in property taxes and excise taxes.
Bigger items, such as highways and public health and higher education, are handled at the state level, plus there’s a National Guard if things get really dicey. (I’d prefer a citizens’ militia but we can argue that some other day.) State government bears a LOT of scrutiny, but overall I’m OK with paying sales taxes and (dammit) a state income tax. (Massachusetts, don’t ya know.)
At the federal level ... umm ... the national level ... let’s see ... Defense! Yeah! NATIONAL DEFENSE!! I can support that!
Now, what else do I need the federal government to do for me? Give me a minute ... I’ll think of something. Umm ... national uhh ... parks? No, let the state run those. National ... uhhh ... national ...
Nope. I’ve got no friggin’ use for the national government except to deliver the mail (which they screw up) and keep our borders secure (which they also screw up). And for this they take mind-boggling amounts of money away from me and my employer. For what?
Limited government? Yeah, I can support that! Big time!
