Smoke, Mirrors and Bigger Government

While you and I are spending time deciphering the real truth in Weinergate, wrestling with whether we will vote for “the hair” or “the bus,” Washington D.C. continues to grow government. What does it matter if Trump or Palin run, neither can win a national race. Polls continue to indicate,

“the majority of people will not vote for them.”

It just won’t happen. Too many people will vote against them or won’t vote. They are not the future of our Republic.

“Get over it.”

Day after day people attack and defend Rep. Paul Ryan’s health care plan. From day one, I said, the Ryan plan won’t fly. Not because of anything in the plan, but the timing. Rep. Ryan was shot down by his own party. One should ask, “why?” What about Paul Ryan’s plan triggered the blow back? Could it have been less about the plan and more about the man?

Rep. Paul Ryan was being promoted as presidential stock once his plan hit the streets. Could it be the “big city gop” did not feel comfortable with Rep. Ryan as their candidate? Was/is he too close to the Tea Party? Could Paul Ryan have been the person to bring down the traditional “big government” gop?

Government vs Seniors

Including the Ryan Plan, in my opinion, there’s nothing on the horizon, but, bigger government. No one has yet to mention cutting government as an option to reducing the debt.

“Why?”

Do not give me the, “not big enough” argument. What about small government do you not understand? The smaller the central government, the greater the power held by the states. Why is that equation so hard to grasp? Unless we reduce the size of central government, the erosion of individual power will continue. Smaller central government means more state jobs. We can cut many departments at the federal level and administer them at the state level. Think Small, Think Local.

If you think the Medicare cuts are nasty. The bigger central government gets, the more power they will hold over every detail in our lives. Smoking, eating, drinking, swearing, thinking will all fall under the province of central government. Where you live, how you live, how many children, what kind of job, education to be received, all these will be under the central government. These are not meant to be scare tactics. They are facts of all large central governments.

The struggle in 2012 at the polls will be Government vs Seniors. Who will win? You can bet the Marxists have the literature at-the-ready. The war will be not about social security and medicare, but about central government helping “all” individuals. The battle will be against Wall Street, major corporations, “robber barons”, and any other moniker they can resurrect. The gop has little to no chance to defeat a populist campaign. The just do not have the ground to stand on for a war against big business. For decades they have lost when the mood is anti-business.

Superficial Excellence

Today, the central government continues to build on the fascist “crony capitalism” model. But, in the press we read how “anti-Big”, they are. The literature and talking points of the leftists/statists/Marxists, lead one to believe they are for the little people. The economic model for Marxist bases everything on state ownership. How is that for the “little people?” Check out some articles on the state of East Germany before the Wall collapsed if you want a true reading on Marxism/central government and individual well being.

Central government does an excellent job of representing itself as “for the people.” Program after program can be hauled out as examples of how central government cares and acts to help the individual. Do not look beyond the placard, because the miserable failures of central government are ugly. Everything about central government can be summed up in one word- “superficial.”

On the surface, Marxism should be the best political system ever. On the surface, the federal government should be the answer to every problem. On the surface, we see what we want to see. On the surface, the current “politically correct” media keeps us in the dark. But, then again, haven’t we become a nation of superficial?

Again, I ask,

“why can’t we reduce the size of central government as a starting point in the war on debt?”
