"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
Gerald Ford, Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974)
And when totally broke Greece tries to pull back on only some of the "goodies" expected by its populace, they riot and throw their fits. And they are brok-er...
Is that foretelling where we are headed in this country?
The PRODUCERS are in the Tea Party and we are NOT GOING to TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
No more Red State Taxes for Blue State Stupidity!!!
That us usually true, True!
Wallace - I heard this morning that our economy needs double-digit growth for over 50 years to break even for the spending that has happened in the last year! And we aren't even beginning to service that yet! That number of 50 can only increase. There is only one way to satisfy that Wallace, and that is taxes. And they know it!
Pocono - wise men think ahead.
Jay - The government will not admit and the populace will not accept the fact that we're on the wrong path. We're entering uncharted territory, and regardless of how much money we print or borrow, that will not solve our problems.
That is right John. AND doing that will make things dramatically worse. Inflation is the destroyer of countries.
Jay,
This is a perfect quote for today. It's right in line with what I've been reading from some of the Founders. :)

Steve - one of the questions asked of the "president" today in a press conference was that the work of the founding of this country was done by illegals. Was that in your reading? Did you hear the "president's" answer?! HA!
Jay,
I didn't see that, but I'll try to find a clip of it. I reserve comment until I see it. Thanks. :)
Steve
Jay,
I was stopping by to tell you your post is featured on "Celebrating Free Enterprise." Congratulations. :)
Steve
I think it is apparent that many of the people in government today have never run a business, maybe not even a lemonade stand. I do not think they understand what it takes to stimulate an economy. Stifling business is not going to help.
Wow, I can comment!
Steve H. - Thanks! I enjoy the quotes also!
Steve S. - it is a bummer when people who don't know what they are doing think they have the right, and abuse the power, to shove themselves down others' throats.
