There is such a simple answer to all our problems with the Federal Government. Every single issue we have with it an be solved with one single fix:
Obey the Constitution and restore Limited Government.
Every problem we have with the gummint, and everything that's wrong with it stems from the fact that it is too big, has too much power, and too much money.
Without the power, glory, status, cash, exorbitant salaries, special health care and instant pensions...venal people won't run for office. They'd leave in droves.
Without the fascistic control over industry and business...lobbyists couldn't BUY anything for their money. They'd leave in droves.
If you have a LIMITED government with little power, all the bureaucracies would have to close...as would most of the alphabet agencies. All the apparatchiks would leave in droves.
There is no current outrage that would not be eliminated if we honored the Constitution and restored LIMITED GOVERNMENT as originally established.
It's so simple.
Not easy....but really, really simple.
As always, it's the PRINCIPLE that solves the problem. The rest is just details.

GS,
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised this is the first comment. Well, maybe not, because there is only one way to put government back in its place and I think most people are simply afraid to say it. By the way, electing Republicans is NOT the way.
A government deprived of its tax revenues cannot function. To continue, that government must resort to brute force and hope that has a chilling effect on any further resistance. If enough people are willing to face the wrath of the parasitic government bureaucracy, perhaps even risk losing their personal property, that government must eventually jail so many people the country itself can no longer function. With no revenue, its work force jailed and widespread civil disobedience, that government must resort to more violence or perish. The chaos that may result from the death of a tyrannical government doesn't frighten me as much as the ever expanding tyranny of that government.
I wrote here at length once that talk is cheap. A "Tea Party" that doesn't throw the tea overboard is a disgrace to those patriots who risked all they had to defy a tyrant. How dare we usurp that name and not bear any of the risks faced by those "Indians" boarding ships in Boston Harbor? If we are unworthy of the legacy bequeathed upon us by our Founders, and unwilling to do more than talk a good talk, we deserve every indignity and injustice this government can foist upon us.
Can I make it any clearer than I have? Furthermore, should we really place our trust in another political party that simply can't wait for their turn again, and do unto us what they did in the past? No, the Republicans have no intention of gutting what power they will acquire by election. Either we do what has to be done, by sacred pact, or no one will.
