Hope

There is hope for us who want to return our country to its Constitution. The hope is that the statist form of government never works. Over time people recognize that such leaders cannot fulfill the promises they make. That is what happened in the USSR, is happening in China, happened in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It will also happen here. We are beginning to see it already. The left is getting ready to throw BO under the bus because he is not fulfilling the promises he made. The public in our country is getting ready to throw our whole government out because the politicians are simply not able to fulfill all the promises they make. These politicos make all kinds of promises in order to get elected and then fall flat on their faces after they get into office. We the people are getting tired of such foolishness, such lying. "The claim that a planned economy would produce a substantially larger output than the competitive system is being progressively abandoned by most students of the problem. Yet it is this false hope as much as anything which drives us along the road to planning." (The Road To Serfdom (Abridged Edition), Friedrich A Hayek; The University of Chicago Press, 1994; p 14)

It is this claim that a planned economy would produce more than the free market is what has driven the leftists to press for a dictatorial government, one planned from the top.  Yet this is a false hope. And many people are beginning to see that. A planned economy is supposed to feed the hungry better, take better care of the poor, provide better health care for the sick, make our country more loving and kind and better, but we are finding out that such a plan is just a pipe dream. Such a government does not help poor countries more, does not protect our environment better, does not help the poor in our country better, does not do anything better than a free market. And then to top it all off, such a planned society, a government that plans everything from the top down takes away all our freedoms and liberty. So it just makes matters worse. It does not help the weak and frail and it crushes anyone who is strong. What a complete failure.

So let us return to small government---a government that only serves to protect us from enemies external and internal and serves as a mediator within our boundaries and leave the rest to the free market. I bet we will find that the poor will be taken care of better and the strong will be able to do what is necessary to provide for themselves and those around them. SHRINK GOVERNMENT!
