This generation will likely be the first generation, according to experts, in recent American History to pass on a lower standard of living to their children and what is they rally cry?  They want to put more perks on the credit card.  If this was a private corporation the words we would use are words like: Ponzi scheme, fraud, bankrupt... there would be national outrage, stockholder class action law suits and federal indictments... 


why is it because its government they call it deficit, debt, stimulus, or mistakes... when you make up numbers like the "New or saved" jobs numbers that have been roundly proven fictitious by groups like the AP... when you promise openness and then serve up a 1900 page bill from behind closed doors... these are things that would bring criminal charges and civil lawsuits in the private sector but todays its just politics.


There was a time when people in this country had morals and consciences.  There was a time when they cared about their children's future.  there was a time when Americans would have stood up and called this what it was: Corruption, theft, selfishness, ignorance, and bad choices.


The problem is bad regulation and too much government.  The solution is no no regulation... its not more regulation!  Its time that we streamline.  Its time that we get folks in congress who will swear to not pass another new bill for 4 years or longer if necessary.  We need people in government who will go back through the old laws and regulations and get rid of what didn't work.  We need to repeal lots of 60 year old healthcare laws that are screwing up the system... we need to rethink a lot of our tax code and other incentive programs.  We need to reevaluate the governments role in education and maybe subsidize private education instead of running education.  We need to go back to the drawing board and find out why we are stagnating and then fix it... not with new rules and new limits but with smarter solutions that give people more liberty and more protection.  It can be done if we can get some smart honest politicians... I know thats an oxymoron but if we as voters change the way we look at this maybe we can change the people in office!


Its time to take responsibility.  Pay down the debt and live within our means.   It's time to stop manipulating our economy and streamline into something that will thrive in the global marketplace.  It's time to cut the fat in social safety nets and lower taxes so that people can afford to take care of themselves and their families.

    Ludwig von Mises: 'Used to the conditions of a capitalistic environment, the average American takes it for granted that every year business makes something new and better accessible to him. Looking backward upon the years of his own life, he realizes that many implements that were totally unknown in the days of his youth and many others which at that time could be enjoyed only by a small minority are now standard equipment of almost every household. He is fully confident that this trend will prevail also in the future. He simply calls it the American way of life and does not give serious thought to the question of what made this continuous improvement in the supply of material goods possible.' - Economic Freedom and Interventionism
