The Plan

 

        I get so tired of hearing liberal Progressives say no one has a plan for the country except them.  It does not matter if the problem is the economy, jobs, healthcare, immigration, or anything else you can think of, liberal Progressives think they are the only ones with a plan.  These plans always have several things in common.  They increase government spending, increase the size of government, increase government debt, and restrict individual freedoms.

     I can understand why Progressives, liberals, socialists, and communists all support these Plans, because they all believe the Enlightened Political Elite should be making the decisions on how the rest of us live our lives.  I can also understand why the rich support these Plans because they have the resources to buy privilege and get even richer.  I can understand the poor supporting these Plans because they get things for free.  The poor don’t understand that these Plans enslave them to a life close to poverty.  The end result is; the political elite become more powerful, the rich get richer, and more people become poor. 

        I have a big problem with our elected officials that claim to be conservatives supporting and voting for these Plans.  Some politicians sell out to campaign donors in order to stay in office, and increase their power and personal wealth.  Representing the people that voted for them becomes secondary in some cases.   What I don’t understand is why the working middle class of this country allows partisan politics and special interest groups to divide the country and avoid any real plan for change. 

        The real Plan for Change is simply; cut government spending, reduce the size of the federal government, balance the budget, pay off the debt, and obey the Constitution.   The solution is simple if we stick to the most important issues and not get sidetracked with issues that probably should not be the responsibility of the federal government anyway.  We better address these major issues first, because if we don’t, some appointed bureaucrat with no responsibility to the public could be making many decisions controlling our live.
