Government Gone Wild

As time marches on and I see how our Federal government is aiming it's sites on all private sector businesses that it deems are in trouble it becomes more and more troubling to me. Do the people who voted this administration into office understand the colossal mistake they have made? If they do not now will they ever?

I am amazed to listen to supporters who insist that Obama and all of his underlings are on track to rescue our economy when logic dictates otherwise. Unemployment continues to rise as do most prices across the board. Mortgages continue to falter even after the so called stimulus money. The government continues to borrow record amounts of revenue and sink them into companies that in the end go bankrupt. Does anyone on the left side of the aisle even understand the lunacy of this whole economic plan?

Watching this "train wreck" unfold makes me really question what the United States will look like in 20 or even 10 years. For as long as my memory can be relied upon the U.S. has been the most prosperous and most revered country in the world. We were what the majority of other countries wanted to be. Is that still the case? If you look at most of Europe, they are now trying to undo what Liberalized policies have done to the moral and fiscal fibers of their society. They are, for the most part, trying to return to more conservative methods. If you look at these countries it makes you wonder how our own country can be trying to head down that path.

What can we do you may ask? I don't have a real idea for an answer. I do know what we can not do and that is continue to vote in these politicians that are supporting this dynamic shift in Democracy. That's not all either. If we do succeed in getting politicians elected that have a modicum of common sense then we damn well better hold their feet to the fire. I am just as frustrated with the campaigning politicians and then the elected politicians being completely different. Say what it takes to get you elected and then go in and act completely different with no apparent consequences. I do believe we need term limits and we need them now. The face of government would change dramatically. I also think that being a Senator or congressman should not have these unrealistic benefits and lifetime pensions. We have created this huge beast that feeds on us instead of serving us. Term limits and limited benefits would go a long way at limiting both the power and privilege.

Oh and one more thing. Remember that document that gets thrown about quite regularly but doesn't seem to hold much weight with our President or his administration? You know the one I mean...with all the signatures of the founders? That's right the Constitution. It is what has separated us from most other countries in the world for as long as the United States of America has existed. I invite you to just scan it and try to find anywhere in it's pages how our government has the right to buy companies or bail out insurance behemoths all in the name of the taxpayer. We better wake up soon as to what is happening to this country because undoing what is about to be done will not happen in our lifetimes or our children's lifetimes.
