The Freedom of Common Sense

I've posted a few things that are political, but I want to be clear why I do it: It's not to promote one side or the other, but instead to point out how outrageously crazy - a bizarre mix of simultaneously overreaching and ineffective - our government has become. It's like all government programs - the mantra is "grow or die." It just keeps doing things out of control in an order to justify its existence.

So IMO the only way to brings thing back to some form of normalcy is to cut the size of government. This will force them to focus on things that are relatively important (nothing will ever make them efficient, it's not in government's nature).

For example, most of what happens at the DOJ is ideological nonsense; they pick and choose the laws to enforce. So cut their budget and make them defend why they are doing what they want to do. Stop them from suing states that are trying to deal with local issues. Keep them in check by not funding their excesses.

Ergo, cutting taxes = cutting the size and scope of government, which in turn allows the freedom of the common sense of the American people to flourish.
