some of my friends are calling the crony capitalists the ‘ruling elite’ (the ‘elite’ term is just too special for me.
We’ve always known the powerful protect the powerful but they’ve never been so blatant until now. They lie, cheat, and steal with impunity. When confronted they actually deny any and all allegations despite all the evidence.
We may have crossed the rubicon.
Are there enough who believe in individual liberty and economic freedom to overcome our lot or do we proceed to become a second rate country, a society of lies we tell ourselves?

2012 is a big year for us. 2016 may be too late.

Does “overdrive” mean “hyperinflation”?

30th Anniversary of President’s Reagan’s First Inaugural, 1/20/81.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.”
