An Opportunity of a Lifetime

This could be what we have all been waiting for. Many of us have said for years that the government and its programs are wayyyy too large and expensive. We have pleaded for restraint at the yearly expansion and maybe the time has come. It is clear to the world that under pressure our Senate could only pass a "critical" bill by adding pork to it. (One of my liberal "green" friends was excited because the bill had a provision in it to pay for his new bicycle if he could document that it was used to ride to work. He couldn't understand why I wasn't impressed. OMG!!!) Government as usual. Time for a change.

If our way of life is looked at as a tree with the trunk being the free market system then many of the branches that the trunk supports are government. What we have now is a hurricane strength wind that will either snap off those limbs or give us an incentive to prune. And boy is that doable! I think it's clear that government can't save us, we need to save government but not by more of the same. If you watched the last debate there was only one person out there that was even talking about reducing government. Guess who.
