Liberals are brilliant to the point that they began to dismantle our traditional American heritage many decades ago. If a country of people are uneducated on economics and American history, they might believe anything. I tend to concentrate on economics in this blog.
It is hard for me to express my displeasure of the Obama administration's growth into our lives with the takeover of GM, the introduction of czars that will control aspects of the economy, and now the greater regulation of tobacco and the getting close to huge overhaul of our healthcare in America. The reason it is hard is that most Americans do not understand the bases of an argument because their knowledge of simple economics (in my opinion the most important school subject after basic English and Math) is so poor. How can I argue against well intended policies that sound good if the American people do not know the cost associated with the growth of government despite good intentions.
Pay Czar? Please read my past blogs about CEO pay. There you will learn why it is so dangerous to allow the government to manipulate the market pay of CEO's no matter how many millions they make when YOU don't think they are worth it.
I have also written past blogs about Healthcare and why free markets have worked so well there. I give examples of government healthcare in other nations as well.
Christians like the fact that government regulates some things. Tobacco use, prostitution, seat belts, helmets on bikes, etc... Many conservatives love those regulations too. I hate them. I don't think government should regulate parts of our lives that do not affect other people. I disagree with doing the many of the things that government outlaws. But giving it the right to prohibit or regulate the use thereof could give government the go ahead on other things. What if you went into a restaurant and ordered a dessert and the waiter said "I'm sorry but according to new government standards, you have already reached your calorie limit". You think that sounds crazy but they already outlawed different ways to make food at restaurants. McDonald's went away with the "Super Size" due to lawsuits, etc...
If government takes over healthcare you better believe to keep cost down they will prohibit your liberty to eat what you want when you want it and how much of it you can have.
Solution: More education with less government involvement = more economics without agenda. The more a person knows and understands economics, the less government they usually want. It hurts government to teach about economics. In other words government is smart to keep us dumb. Lets not let them keep doing it to us.
