Don't Tell the Government That, It Might Force Them To Face Reality

Or it might actually make them quit trying to solve problems it has no right to solve & only makes things worse by doing so. While he doesn't say so directly, my paisan, Neil Cavuto, is definitely aiming at the idea going arround of giving the Federal Reserve more power. That is a bad idea. & I saw something this week that confirms my suspicions. Iowa's governor, attorney general & a director of a state regulatory agency are opposed to the idea. The 1st 2 I know are Dems & I suspect the 3rd is. When you've got Democrats opposed to something that would concentrate power as far away from the people & local government as possible then it MUST be bad!!!!! Even scarier, I agree with the Dems on something. This must be a fluke. They moved so far to the left of me that that IS the only possible explaination.

Government Is Not Our Savior

I'm telling you, I see the battle ahead.
The tougher times get, the more people will turn to the government to fix things.
And the more people who aren't fans of the government will be painted as evil. Period.
So John McCain urging restraint on federal programs and bailouts suddenly becomes Herbert Hoover.
And those advocating active intervention, something akin to Jesus Christ.
Tax hikes suddenly become a moral imperative.
Tax cuts a greedy throwback.
These are dangerous times, my friends, when goodness itself is defined by how big you want the government.
And evil, I suppose by those who have serious doubts about the government.
Trust me, government isn't bad.
It is our structure.
But it is not our savior.
Now, if we as a people have come to favor a government that protects us from ourselves, I suppose that means we'll happily pay the cost.

If it also means our acknowledging we can't handle our own lives, so maybe the government can, we'll all not so happily pay the price.
Absolving responsibility for signing onto mortgages we knew were too big, and eating at countless fast food restaurants we knew would make us too big.
So we sue others for contributing to what we have done, what we have signed, and what we have eaten.
Never once acknowledging the line of nonsense we as a society have been forced to swallow, without once looking in the mirror.
