“the word he wanted was “serf”, not surf, not cerf.”
The OPs spelling error was most likely a result of spell check.
I, on the other hand, can make no such excuse!
The federal government is clearly too big when a “land management” agency can afford to have its own sniper team. A government agency that has more money than it needs to conduct its core functions is an agency that will busy itself with finding more things to control and ways to extend its power. This is the Iron Law of bureaucracy.
A government that can create its own money does not have to ask taxpayers for permission to spend more to feed its self-serving bureaucratic activities. When states start calling for a Convention to consider amendments to the Constitution, the first topic must be to restrain federal spending. A government that must live within its means is a government that must focus on the important things rather than imposing evermore intrusive laws and regulations having the weight of law.
Every day more people are coming to the judgment that a carefully organized effort to repair the constitution via the States’ power to propose and ratify amendments has less risk to our liberty and prosperity than the present trajectory of the federal government and especially the federal bureaucracy.
