[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 749409, member: 2189"] Government at all levels have become the primary growth engine for jobs over the last 50 years. As various industrial based jobs died out and went away (a strong middle class with it) gov't along with FIRE industry jobs have been the growers to keep the economy sustained. In all of this no commodity or product is produced but legal fictions of state priviledge are, those growing the state even further. I completely agree the need to cut the size of gov't and spending with it but because through most of the 20th century with gov't becoming such a primary employer, either directly or via contractor, the effects of such actions you'd better be transparent about and prepared to accept. The fear to re-consider the regulatory arm of the state is very strong in light of the economic faliures and the recent BP spill but in order to crank up the production engine, especailly the small business apparatus that is the lynchpin of a strong middle class, the strength is needed to look hard at the regulatory arm of gov't to see where big corporatism and moneyed interests have used regulatory capture to close off real competition and a real true free market. Once we realize where public policy has been used to kill small business and benefit larger, centralized, monopoly industries and cartels, changes in regulatory policy that have no risk to so-called public safety can be made and a return to a strong economic America can truly begin. Here's just[URL="http://www.libertyamendment.com/growth.html"][COLOR=red] one example[/COLOR][/URL] of gov't growth to consider from over the last century through 2002' and I can only imagine since 2002' how these numbers have exploded even more! The Corporatist State have rigged the game so that if you cut gov't as we should, the ill effects built in will cause the public to fall prey to their own fear and then we'll clammer for gov't to then fix it. The BP spill is a prefect example in before the spill gov't was inept, incapable and just screwed things up. Now even those who did scream for less gov't are now screaming at gov't for not doing enough! "Fear is the mind killer!" [/QUOTE]
