Running hot and cold

This is from 2006, but the point stands. The greatest errors occur when people refuse to acknowledge how much they don't know.

What it is

Let's just be clear about something: The ridiculous deficits in the federal budget and in California's state budget, as well as in other state budgets (including Florida's), are caused by OVERSPENDING, not by a lack of revenue. Amazingly (to so many ignorant fools), there is still no such thing as a free lunch. D'oh!

Timeless wisdom

"Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution. ... The only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off."

What do we want? STOP TORTURING THE ECONOMY

Dear Rep. Buchanan

While we cannot attend the Town Hall meeting, my wife and I both believe that the best way to help the economy is for the government, particularly the federal government, to get the heck out of the way. Do not support measures that try to direct or manipulate private enterprise. Cut taxes whenever and wherever possible. Only dismantling the ridiculous schemes of the Roosevelt Depression years, which still largely exist today, will fully revitalize the U.S. free enterprise system. Instead, the Obama administration is busy trying to expand them. Please fight this effort with all your energy. If you do, you will be rewarded with our support and our votes.

Thank you
