There’s always a tradeoff:
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”
Something to think about amidst all of this sentiment from Washington about how only government spending can save us now. The New Deal was a very invasive program back in the 30’s, and it’s influence – as it is still today found crawling forward – is being revived once again by a new wave of “big government” mentalities. You may not see a tremendous dissipation of liberty immediately, but as time has shown, the impact is abhorrent and long lasting.
I believe the solution is confidence, faith, creativity, and hard work. In my opinion, anyone that tells you otherwise has an agenda.
Amen, brother. The New Deal policies actually EXTENDED the Great Depression. Shameful that our public schools hail FDR as a such a hero in this regard. Every time a “stimulus” has been tried in this country, it has failed. These clowns – Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, Obama, etc. – only care about controlling America. These crooks also don’t have any basic economic understanding. The values you mentioned – confidence, faith, creativity, and hard work – are among the ONLY “stimuli” that will save this country.
