Dismantling The Federal Government

Former Socialist Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco hysterically claims that Tea Party Members want to dismantle the federal government, which Pelosi claims "will end life as we know it".  In a major revelation to Pelosi, this Blogger would like to inform her that the Makers in the United States do not depend on the state, or federal government for " life as we know it".   In fact, in addition to all the taxes that we pay, any interaction that we have with government, that is usually distasteful, cost us additional monies is fees and other charges.  In other words, unlike the Takers in the US, Pelosi's PEEP's, the Makers in society do not get a free ride from government ever.
 
No, the Makers in society enjoy life as we know it as a result of our hard work and family life often in spite of government, not because of it.  As a business owner, I can say that government is often the source of additional work, expense and stress as we must respond to ever increasing regulations and tax issues.  Government often makes my life miserable.  Pelosi is right, however, in that Tea Party Members want to shrink government in keeping with our Constitution and the original intent of our Founding Fathers related to the proper role of limited government. 

That which governs least, governs best.  Local, State and Federal governments currently consume an unprecedented 40% of GDP.   Under Obama, the federal government has grown to 25% of GDP when it should be no more than 17 or 18% to provide essential services for our people.  To put this in perspective, health care in the United States now represents 20% of GDP.  The Tea Party does not want to dismantle government; but rather shrink it to providing essential services like defense, insuring that our food supply is safe,  insuring that we have energy to power our homes and country, insuring that the dollar is sound, making sure that our airports function etc. etc.   We want all the redundancy, waste, fraud and corruption squeezed out of government.   Since when is common sense unreasonable?

Since Nancy Pelosi is focused on her PEEP's, those that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole, illegal aliens, public employee and other union members and favored industries that contribute to Socialist campaigns, in other words all those feeding at the trough, naturally she does not want to see government shrink because it would involve taking money and other benefits and goodies from the Takers in Society.   She is right for many free loaders, it would end life as they know it.   Imposing a hiring freeze on the federal government to reduce headcount by 500,000 in the next five years would mean 500,000 less dues paying union members contributing to Socialist campaigns.   Bringing public employee union compensation and benefits in line with private sector practices, would mean less money for Fat Cat union bosses.  Reforming Social Security and Medicare, once and for all, would mean that Socialists could not continue using scare tactics with Seniors to win re-election. 

So Pelosi is right.  Shrinking government would end life as she knows it.   Those feeding at the trough would be impacted; but it is necessary to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  Every time Nancy Pelosi opens her mouth, she demonstrates all the reasons that we must take back our country.   Pelosi is a Socialist dinosaur.   At 70 years old, Pelosi still basks in the glory of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, even though like the Obama/Reid/Pelosi SwindleUS Plans, government deficit spending did nothing to end the Depression, or the current Recession.  As a result of Obama's tax and spend economic policies, or lack thereof, GDP growth in the US is now at 1.28% when we need 3%, or higher, to make any dent in unemployment.  There are 25 million Americans either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether.   There are 43 million people on Food Stamps along with millions on extended unemployment benefits, Welfare and Medicaid.   Is this the "change we can believe in" that Obama promised us three years ago during the Presidential campaign?

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping these Socialists, that are destroying and bankrupting our country, out of office.   We can do it.   We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   No one makes the case for the need to sweep these Socialists out of office better than Nancy Pelosi.   Every time Pelosi opens her mouth, it demonstrates that we must work harder to get the job done.
