All of these people who demand that Congress should "just pass a budget" or "do their job" ought to read Hayek's "Road to Serfdom". Hayek shows that as Big Government gets bigger and bigger, takes over more and more of the economy, it's politics splinter. With the zillions of decisions that Big Government has to make to "run" the economy, there's no agreement on what to do. Special interests come into play to hijack the powers of government in what economists call "rent-seeking". That is mold the rules, the outlays and budgets to serve their benefit and not that of the people.

The point is that there is no agreement on the actions to be taken. No majority is possible to get behind any one of the thousands (millions) of possible plans. Think of the Weimar Republic with dozens of political parties, many of which developed their own militant wings. The KPD, communist party of Germany had their gang of thugs, along with the thugs of the Socialist Party, the National Socialist Party (Nazi), Nationalists and others. This lead to political violence in the streets.

The Weimar Republic was the prototype of "social democracy'. The government, states and cities ran all kinds of economic organizations, the unions were extremely powerful, the federal government involved itself in all kinds of activities.

When the economy went south with the onset of the depression, it became political war of all against all. The US of A is clearly heading right along this path. The extremism, the openess to violence of the Democrat Party by its base, will lead to a reaction. I'm surprised their hasn't been some politician using black racism as a path to power already.

The supporters of bigger and bigger government from John McCain to Barbara Boxer just simply cannot even consider the implications and trends and results that are going to happen from their activities. As a side note, any Jewish American supporting Big Government is on a path to assisted suicide. All of these Big Government extremists end up as anti-Semites, look at Barack Obama himself. German Jews were fully assimilated in the "most civilized and advanced country in the world" and look what happened to them in a span of only 12 years.

It could happen here. The Democrat Party has been inciting race hatred, class hatred, religion hatred, sexual hatred now for decades. We see the results in the waves of black mob violence, individual race attacks and the political violence by white college-age extremists, like that guy who shot up the traditional family group in DC.

What's the trend? What's the Democrat Party end game? Can they stop themselves?
