I Think They Call This "A Start" But It Only Begins To Address The Real Problem

SEE HERE A million here and a million there and pretty soon you're talking real money. That's something Everett Dirksen is supposed to have said. Now it would have to be updated to "a billion here and a billion there" and not because we have any more money, but because the money continues to be worth less and less and the government keeps insisting on spending more and more of it. That is a recipe for collapse if left unchecked. We have a great choice facing us. We can go forward continuing doing what we have been doing and we will certainly destroy the economy. The alternative is to return to fiscal responsibility and principles and to stop imagining that government can fix every problem or even that government has a stake in every problem. Personal integrity, personal initiative, personal discipline, personal freedom, these are all part of the solution. Continually expecting someone else to carry your load is a recipe for poverty and squalor.
