The Audacity of Mopes

The New Deal. The Great Society. Now comes "The Audacity of Mopes." By casting this current economic mess as one requiring massive government spending, the Administration is replacing big government with LEVIATHAN government. Conservatives can argue that the 3 impediments to economic growth are taxes, labor costs, and onerous regulation on industry until they are blue in the face, yet the average voter simply wants the government to "do something." The failed fiscal policies that plague Illinois are now being foisted on our entire nation and yet a majority of the electorate still fails to see we have finally given Huey Long his great victory over capitalism. How much farther down this road will we travel before we realize that America is becoming what we fought so mightily against throughout our history? Did countless thousands die defending freedom and opportunity die only to see us surrender to the base forces of class envy and the ultimate nanny state?
