“Big Government, Low Taxes”

Our nations capital has forgotten to they work for “We the People”. Our founding fathers diligently worked to create a government, which prevented our new government from “European-style privilege and bureaucracy that they had escaped.” They knew they could expect corruption in government and they felt serving the public interest was more of a politician’s role.

George Washington, John Adam, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin believed being a politician was a civic obligation and NOT a full time occupation. Today’s politicians don’t feel or act that way. They are influenced by special interests, and lobbyists, which may or may not have the nations best interests at heart. Including their, personal ethics and public morality. This has caused America to lose good leadership. We “face a serious leadership deficit-one that was not there at the birth of our republic.”

“We have lost our way in developing the ideas at the root of American political thinking in the early days—limited government. Instead today we have created a big government. One who runs up a huge deficit budgets, year after year, to the point where “We the People” will not be able to pay off this enormous commitment we are incurring within our own lifetime. Our children and grandchildren will have to take on our burden along with their own. Their standard of living will be decreased and this will be the first time in American history one generation passed on undo hardships.

In the 1990’s in America statutory budget controls were enacted to side skirt this trend. It was called the PAYGO RULES: which put caps on discretionary spending increases, and paid offs any new spending or tax cuts within 10 years. PAYGO RULES expired in 2002. The most important provisions of these rules, IMHO, were that they gave the basis for our Congress the opportunity to say NO to demands by special interest groups and their big contributor constituencies. Maybe PAYGO RULES need a rebirth?
