The RINO version of the GOP? Good, we should have long ago buried them.
Expect these central planners in "conservative" clothing to be primaried out of office. Doesn't matter what the party is called, it matters what the they stand for.
The art of compromise has been lost by the far right. What is happening is that moderate Republicans are leaving the party. You will get your conservative party, but it will only account for 30% of the voting public. Good luck winning elections with those numbers. With people like Cruz representing Texas, it won't be long until Texas and much of the South turns blue. You guys lost the battle a long time ago. It happened when you demanded less government at all costs rather than more effective government.
Less government is more effective government. I work with Bureaucrats. They create work that doesn't accomplish anything but keep themselves busy.
For example, today I recieved a third fax marked urgent from a bureaucrat asking me to send a response back ASAP. I, of course, had not sent a response because the fax also says "If you do not respond, this is what we will be doing." I had no problem with them doing what they were going to do if I sent no response. So naturally I sent no response. But apparently, despite saying they would take certain actions if I didn't respond, they chose not to take any action whatsoever until I responded, other than to keep harassing me about some non-important matter.
They sent three faxes. And then about two or three phone calls yesterday. I made it a point to tell them if you wanted me to respond, don't tell me what you will do if I don't.
My time has been wasted because of this. Their time has been wasted. They have done something of zero importantance and this burdens the tax payers and in my opinion it burdens them too.
Imagine what we could do if we truly did scale back the size of government. Thousands of work hours would be free to contribute to creating instead of just managing. We could do work that produced greater wealth for all people instead of busy work so we can collect a pay check that really doesn't produce more for society.
I don't care what your political idealogy. We have to cut back on the government. Either we do it voluntarily now. Or we are going to have to do so in a far more painful way down the road. We cannot continue to spend more and more money we don't have. We can't keep expecting the American people to work more and more for the government just so a few politicians can make themselves fat on our dime. There is absolutely nothing practical about the situation.
The American people have to work until April to pay off their obligations to the Federal government. Doesn't matter if you are rich, poor, or middle class. That isn't right. Heck, taking 10% of our income isn't right. But they take nearly 3 times that. And that doesn't even consider the state and local governments.
The Federal Government was designed as a government of limited jurisdiction for a reason. Every time we empower the Federal Government to do something they never had jurisdiction to do, even if they are geniunely trying to do a good thing with the power, they are acting corruptly.
The more we expect the government to fix our problems. The less we as Americans will step up and actually fix them ourselves. That doesn't help anyone.
Instead, we have this false view that we can never fail. It doesn't matter what happens, we are too big to fail. But pride always leads to a fall. It may not be immediately, but a fall must come. That is an Eternal law just as much as the Law of Gravity is. Pride proceeds a fall. We have a choice. We can humble ourselves. Or we will be humbled by Nature and Nature's God.
And the bigger they are, the harder they will fall. The Fall of Rome lead us to the Dark Ages. Can you imagine what the Fall of the US will lead to?
