Less is Better

         Our Founding Fathers were afraid that someday the Federal government could become too big and powerful.  They wanted more power with the states.

        The 10^th Amendment was passed to restrict the powers of the Federal Government.  It’s been totally ignored in recent times.  It reads:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

         For example, the Federal government has a Department of Education, and nowhere in the Constitution is the Federal government given any authority to be involved in education.  Education is the responsibility of the States and the people.  Maybe if the Federal government got out of education, our universities would run more efficiently and stop teaching racist and Marxist propaganda.

        Earmark and pork barrel has gotten totally out of control. This has nothing to do with serving the American people.  It is how career politicians pay back their political contributors.  The so-called COVID bill and infrastructure bill both had less than 10% of the money going to what the bills were actually written for.  The rest was pork.

        Federal government spending has to be curtailed.  Our debt is over 28 trillion.  This is over $85,000 for every citizen.  This has to stop before the country is bankrupt.  According to the Treasury Department the federal debt limit has been raised 78 times since 1960.  It may take a Constitutional Convention to resolve this, because the Congress is obviously not responsible.

        Out-of-control government spending will cause taxes will go up, but inflation is a real and immediate problem.  Everything has gone up.  The price of fuel, meat and lumber is ridiculous.  Inflation hurts the low and middle class the worst.  The rich and political elite are not effected.

        Less is better.  We must reduce the size and out-of-control Federal government spending if the want to restore the American Dream.

        One thing the Federal government is responsible for is protecting our sovereign nation and securing our borders.  The Biden administration has zero interest in supporting that Constitutional obligation.
