Well said. The area around the Beltway is far wealthier than the rest of the country. I lived in Arlington VA from 1977-1981- my house doubled in price in that long ago time. It would probably be worth two million now. The government salaries are so inflated compared with the private sector and the benefits so very generous. Stop this theft and decrease the size of the federal government.
Amen Sister.
What will it take to put the federal government back into it’s constitutional cage? Well, it will certainly take more than man - it will take the Lord and his grace and mercy. I estimate that at least 80% of the $4 trillion central government is unconstitutional and is, therefore, by definition despotic. Cutting 80% of the central government would send hundreds of thousands of officials, bureaucratic heads, and government workers home packing. Short-term pain for them, long term recovery for America.
God bless.
