Tell them to tell us why they abandoned the reforms of the Ownership Society. Tell them to tell us why AMT still exists. Tell them to tell us why SS and Medicare are STILL heading right off a cliff. I have more.

The problem, of course, is that the Republicans have adopted the Democrat strategy of buying our votes using our own money. The way to end that is to stop voting for politicians who give away our money, even if it is going to us.

We have to insist on candidates who will reduce spending, reduce taxes, and reduce the scope of government. Then all these other problems will go away.

If you have ever applauded when your Representative brings home a Federal highway project or flood control money, you are just as guilty as the Representative. If you have ever voted for a candidate because he promised to protect or expand a particular program that you happen to benefit from, you cannot object when he and all his buddied vote to expand some other program as well.

Well, I have not. I have always been one who has dreamt of a government that would only put a program in place if was completely needed. And if the program was needed, they would put Common Sense programs in place and remove or reform programs if they are not working.

Instead, we have a Government which is hell-bent on making a program for every little ailment of society, no matter the cost, with no oversight on how the programs are actually doing. Bottom line: The Fed Gov is too big and needs to go on a diet and they need to become better handlers of the money and the power that we entrust to them. Otherwise, they can leave, quietly or kicking and screaming. Makes no difference to me.
