Big Government Run Amok
A Wall Street Journal editorial today, highlights how the government job sector employs nearly twice as many people than in the manufacturing sector. When you combine the manufacturing, construction, farming, fishing, forestry, mining, and utilities industries you still do not eclipse the number of Americans who work for the government. Big government is draining the American taxpayer, and the future of our nation. A central principle of our republic – the unique idea of limited government – is one of the things that has made America Exceptional. The concept of allowing individuals to think, invent, create, and prosper without excessive government regulation is what made America the world’s undisputed economic power. Private enterprise is what continues to make America the envy of the world. We must fight the liberals’ urge to bring more and more people into the public sector.
