When a government is allowed to mushroom into the disastrous size it has in America, the quality of the politicians decreases in proportion, and the potential for graft and corruption increases.<br /><br />We've almost hit the limit, both in size and levels of corruption with our government today. Basically, we have one person in government for every citizen in this country now. It's a ratio that cannot continue to exist if our society is to remain healthy.<br /><br />I don't know if there has ever been a society in history that has been able to scale its government back from this point without anarchy, chaos, or a revolution.<br /><br />We've got a history of achieving the impossible in America. Let's hope we can do it again ...Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903448394061019454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-14000779877224573782010-08-09T17:57:45.521-07:002010-08-09T17:57:45.521-07:00In a perfect world, this would be a *Caption This*...In a perfect world, this would be a *Caption This* post... <br /><br /><b><i>YOU BLINKED FIRST!!</i></b><br /><br />That would be MY offering.. :)TexasFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412925337032937983noreply@blogger.com
