Cancerous Government Expansion

As Americans we need to ask ourselves how we allowed a government that did very little very well grow into this monstrosity that does so much so poorly. We need to return our government into what it was intended to be, very small yet very effective. Small, because the people are the real government and effective because it is divided into three separate branches each with limited power and authority in order to prevent corruption and abuse. Over the last one hundred years we have allowed our government to extend beyond the ideals on which it was founded, to reach into all aspects of our lives, and to become a drain on our prosperity.

The deficit is not this country’s biggest problem, what we have allowed our government to do is the biggest problem we face in the USA. If we can reduce the size of the government, the size of the deficit and the cost of operating the government will also be reduced. We need to cut back the size and scope of our government, not by reducing the budgets of various agencies and departments, but by eliminating them. A doctor does not cut away part of a cancerous tumor, he removes it entirely. We need to cut away the intrusive and ineffective tumors that have grown in our government. The government employs many people who produce nothing, but restrict the production of citizens who strive to succeed. The United States was created by and has prospered from the individual freedoms of our people, the same freedoms which are being eliminated by the expansion of government.
