Individual liberty depends upon keeping government under control.
We don't need more politicians insisting we have deficits because you're not taxed enough. Those deficits ballooned from an economy that didn't grow enough and from 50 years of government spending too much.
I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
If you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it.
I know at times we feel that perhaps in our prayers we ask too much. Or possibly we feel something isn't important enough to be bothering God with it. Maybe we should let Him decide these things.
