Paul Ryan touched the 'third rail' of American politics. He wants to reform Medicare and Medicaid. Good for him, and I hope he succeeds.
I am really tired of the failure of my fellow tax-paying citizens to grasp a simple fact: We cannot continue down this road of spending and spending and spending.
All of us want to cut, but none of us wants to see that "special" program get the axe. Well, it is time to chop! I am tired of the fight to defend my own business and life just so some clown can get to Washington, D. C. to tell me I can't have a good, old-fashioned incandescent light bulb. Stop! You have gone too far.
It is not just Washington either. Frankfort is almost as bad.
Before you jump to the conclusion that I blame the General Assembly, don't. I blame the Executive branch and its failure to lead. It is simple. No governor in the last forty years has decided to stop the profligate spending. Now we are in a corner, and it has to stop.
Free men and women will take care of the problems if we are left to our own initiative. It is how we are made. Solutions are bred into the DNA of Americans because we are who we are. It is in us. No one can take it out unless we allow it.
Will you tire of the fight? Will you give up when you are this close to Liberty? Not I!
It is time to stop the giveaways by a government that lied to its trusting citizens so many years ago when it promised security stolen from the purse of others. Paul Ryan's plan simply does not go far enough. We must slash, chop, mince, and otherwise eviscerate the entitlement State if we are to enjoy Liberty into our old days. I prefer Liberty to security, for with Liberty and its blessings, we remain secure.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." ~Thomas Paine
