We can't build things like a highway system anymore, we don't have the cash flow to even pay our bills. We are easier to "govern' in a ham sandwich nation were everything is illegal and due process is based on the grace or politics of a bureaucrat. Where everyone is a financial client of the welfare state, beggars are always easy to please.

Statism is how the world was governed prior to the American Revolution, we have retrograded since the election of Woodrow Wilson, the first "progressive" president. Read his writings, the Constitution is an impediment to the state power and therefore bad, the common man being stupid needs to be guided and governed by the elite and bureaucratic experts.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.


It's interesting that some believe that those employed in the public sector are somehow "the new man", without the same flaws all humans have.



Of course we can't build anything like the highway system. The EPA and the environuts would put quick stop to it. Some red bellied barfly might suffer a loss of habitat because of a cloverleaf on I-80. With tens of thousands of miles of pipelines already in use, very safely as a matter of fact, we let of bunch of environuts stop a new pipeline. The same bunch is fighting against domestically produced energy with trumped up scare tactics and downright lies about fracking. Same thing with nuclear power. Unless we stop listening to people who do NOT have the best interests of America at heart we will have ever increasing energy costs, crumbling infrastructure and a crummy economy.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
