It seems we can’t turn on the television without seeing the bankers and politicians responsible for this economic crisis passing the blame. Harry Truman used to say, “The buck stops here.” Today, politicians pass the buck. And the bucks. A lot of bucks. And they’re taking the bucks they pass from us.
Despite their failures, the politicians in Washington, DC seem to think they have the solutions, too. Unfortunately, those solutions are familiar: If only they could spend more, tax more, regulate more, and control more of the economy, our problems will be solved.
Well, government is bigger, more intrusive and more controlling than it has ever been.
How has that worked so far?
I don’t buy it. Our nation works best when people are given more freedom, not less. We don’t need more regulations and we certainly don’t need new taxes to fix this problem.
What we need is responsibility.
