How long can you survive borrowing from the future?  The founders of this country knew of the dangers of debt and the servitude and the shackles for which we hobble the future.

A farmer fully understands, that if he sells all his seeds he has nothing to plant the next year.

(For those of you who know that currently there are provisions in the contract with seed company’s that restrict the use of reseeding from existing crops, sorry for the example, but the metaphor is: you can’t borrow from the future without consequences.)

Maybe a better analogy is going to the gas station, if you only have $20 and fill the tank, you’d be indebted $60. You better have a great relationship with the gas station.

We desperately need a dose of common sense for decision-making. I remember the summary of Obama’s Obama Care Program.  We will add 30 million people to the healthcare umbrella and it won’t cost anyone any more.

The logic does not work and the politicians can’t explain it.

Politicians are in the business of staying elected. Term limits gives us the opportunity to see fresh faces and maybe the end of the elected officials career path.

We need the people we elect to have experience at running something were we do not provide on-the-job-training.

If you want to be a leader, prove you are worthy. Get a job, create value, create jobs, learn leadership, be in a position to give back. The job of the public official should be to provide the leadership and experience.

How can a job in the public sector, with job security, standardized pay raises based on longevity, not performance measures receive higher pay than a comparable job in the private sector. This is crazy.

We are creating life jobs that only do one thing; reduce the “unemployment figures” while increasing the cost to the taxpayer.

What does the government produce? More regulation, more bureaucracy, more Administrative agencies.

Let’s go back to the founding documents to determine what the government is supposed to do:

If there is a problem to be remedied, how about an committee to determine the solution, who’s purpose is to set forth a framework for accomplishing the solution, then the committee disbands. The solution if need be, establishes an administrative body; created to solve the problem.

Built into the administrative body is a series of milestones to determine the state of progress and once the task is complete the administrative body disbands.

Before, I close this missive, I do not intend to dismiss the value of our military, our court system, our police or firefighters, our teachers and the support staff necessary to maintain our country as a country ruled by law.

The role of government is clearly mapped our in our constitution, the expansion of which undermines the very beauty of the United States.
