When Will We Learn ?
Almost no one seems to object to the current government policies of economic intervention into our economy and the inevitable destruction of individual rights it has already brought us and the future prospects of even more loss of economic and personal freedom as our federal deficits grow out of control. Our country is no better, and probably worse, than almost every country in the world at this point in terms of recognizing, preserving, and/or enhancing individual rights. Say what?
I know you just want to keep your job and maybe get the government to lower interest rates so you can buy, refinance, or sell a home. You want the government to stimulate the economy to help in some respect, perhaps multiple respects. The cost of letting the government into economics isn’t the nirvana John Maynard Keynes would like you to believe, despite the love his policies have in our government these days regardless of most political persuasions. Keynes lovely economic theory is but a grand smoke screen that governments have used for 70+ years to justify intervention into the economy which means taking money from some group of people, might be the rich, might be those who DON’T live in California in the near future, who knows who next year, to benefit some other group of people, presumably those who will vote for the current political party in power in the next election. This is mob rule and the end is not pretty.
Wake up America, and the rest of the world for that matter. Socialism is HERE and growing. Don’t be naive and think you or your grandkids will win in the end.
