Toogood Reports [Thursday, May 2, 2002; 12:01 a.m. EST] URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ The federal government is growing daily because politicians care so much for us. What does the government of no limits mean? It means your government spends as much of the public's money as it wants, often under the pretext of helping you with a multitude of government programs that would be unacceptable to any cost conscious citizen, for the costs often far outweigh the benefits. Most government departments increase their budgets every year nearly ten per cent. The federal government piles up debt with no end in sight, as the debt appears to have no limit. This year the government borrowed $750 billion dollars. The only constant is that the trillions of dollars in debt keep increasing every year, every week, every minute. It stands at about $6.1 trillion dollars now and climbing fast. Endless and limitless spending is a dream come true for our government. Also no limits to government means there is no limit to taxes in our future, for taxes can escalate with no bounds. Always the politicians want more and more spending because the politician with this power of the purse becomes the pivotal source of power and influence in the country. At the inception of our country politicians had an important but less than pivotal role to play in our lives. But the politicians have taken the power of the purse and made themselves the arbiters of our future and our economy. Politicians are bargaining with our freedoms with massive and intrusive government. With so many resources going to government the private sector has not only been shortchanged but also inhibited and stunted. Resources that would go to private citizens and businesses now go to government to spend as it sees fit in creeping or piecemeal socialism. Maybe those thousands of government programs we have today are really games of chance, for a high proportion of them line the pockets of the appointed and anointed ones. Can you oil the machinery and gears of a free private sector capitalist system with the sawdust of unlimited government programs and expenditures? The politicians are trying to do the impossible: squeeze as much wealth out of our system for government programs and departments without damaging and curtailing our freedoms. Wealth is created and generated by our private sector capitalist system, not by government. Politicians are risk averse. They want certainty for themselves. Already incumbents are re-elected at a 98% rate. The no limits applies to their terms of office, for they often spend decades in public office applying their unlimited terms to focusing on unlimited spending, constantly growing government while being less and less effective. Since the advent of the federal government involvement in schools there has been a decline in the quality of the educational system. With no limits on government spending the seeds of greater government involvement are laid with each successive program, until the government controls all of society and industry. There are now suggestions that government must regulate the prices of pharmaceutical drugs. Once the process of intervention has begun there is no end to it until there is complete government control. This is called socialism and it does not work, however laudable its claims for social justice it is a flawed model, more flawed than private sector capitalism, which has created all the wealth in the first place that the politicians redistribute to more and more groups in the country including their political clones. The old saying that we are destroying the goose that laid the golden egg is happening before us now. If American private sector capitalism is the goose and the politician is the hired hand for taking care of the goose it is time we got rid of that kind of politician who is destroying our goose and hire elected officials who will not abuse it with unlimited demands on a daily basis. What is the proper balance for government? It is already inscribed in the Constitution what the parameters ought to be. Often making government do more is like haphazardly building a flimsy, rickety and unsound structure because the politician cares so much for the people. Once the politician can make the streets and our borders safe, providing a speedy and fair justice system for all, protecting the people from all kinds of scams and crimes, the federal government would begin to be doing its job well. The primary job of the federal government is applying and enforcing the Constitution of the United States of America and not one sentence more. That includes the Bill of Rights. By destroying or chipping away at the Constitution we do not save America, but endanger it. The politicians have taken the power of the purse and made themselves the final arbiters of our national future and economy. The Constitution is in the process of being strangled by thousands of laws, administrative rules and exceptions by politicians who care for the people. Every time a politician says or implies he cares for the people, remember he cares for your resources to do things you have no control over because he knows best. Thomas Jefferson noted "To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with debt." The greatness of America is that this mega-government can be reversed and changed if the American people decide on it.
