It’s been a long time coming but Democrats own the House today. They’re ready to make big waves in Washington after riding in with the usual enthusiasm we hear whenever party leadership changes. Later the optimism will fizzle as lawmakers get down to the nuts and bolts reality of doing nothing. That’s already a risk with this new Democratic House and its focus on punishing the … [Read more...] about New Democratic House Must Accept ACA Responsibility Now
Big Government
It doesn’t matter whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House. Big government keeps getting bigger. Democrats grow government for their special reasons. Republicans grow it for theirs. The result is a bureaucratic monstrosity that costs too much and can’t be controlled.
Obama: big government divides and conquers
The largest big government intervention in years was the passage of the Affordable Care Act. The bill raised questions on everything from individual liberty to separation of church and state.
Under Obama we saw the dark side of big government with scandals like the IRS targeting of conservatives, collection of Associated Press phone records by the Department of Justice, and domestic spying by the NSA.
Divisive questions were raised about the reach of big government that ranged from the abuse of presidential power to the people’s dependence on a welfare state to whether Congress or the president decides who crosses our borders. These questions were never answered.
Now they are Donald Trump’s problem.
Trump: big government for conservative purposes
President Trump has his own ideas about big government from the other side of the ideological fence, but his agenda is endlessly complicated by a GOP that can’t agree to get along.
The failure of conservative big government health care made it appallingly obvious that Republicans are not nearly as adept at running our lives as their Democratic opponents. Now we’re on to tax reform. America will discover where conservatives draw the line between what we keep and what we are forced to hand over to Uncle Sam.
Biden: big government out of control
The 2020 election was the election we could not lose. Too much was at stake. We knew what a Biden presidency would mean for the country.
Trump lost. Now our big government is out of control. Congressional Democrats seek to dominate every aspect of our lives including a new assault on our incomes to fund their activist agenda. If Americans want to know just how damaging big government can be in the hands of progressive ideologues, this is our chance to find out.
Biden talked unity before he took over the White House. He maintains this fiction while the hypocrisy of his policies divides the nation to an extreme we haven't seen since the Civil War.
Civil unrest calls for more control and control calls for more big government. It's a dangerous revolving door that spins faster and faster and while our freedoms vanish and totalitarian rule replaces the promise of liberal solicitude.
What is the Big Government category about?
Big government category topics include privacy, accountability, law enforcement, and authoritarianism. One thing is certain. As long as the people can be convinced that we have something to gain from big government, Washington will keep growing with the excuse that it's all for the people.
Defend Extremism to Protect U.S. Free Speech From the EU?
We didn’t defend U.S. businesses subject to ruinous fines from the European Union’s GDPR. Now the EU is preparing to mount another attack on U.S. companies. As the BBC reports, EU officials worried about extremism have proposed that content providers like Google and Facebook should have no more than 60 minutes to take down offending extremist material. If they don’t, like the … [Read more...] about Defend Extremism to Protect U.S. Free Speech From the EU?
Authoritarian Trump a Threat to Totalitarian Democrats
April 24, 2021: it's time we call Joe Biden's border holding pens what they are: concentration camps. His ethnic detainment policy reeks of totalitarian rule. In lieu of any information from the Biden administration about what's really going on at the border you can read this update about our new, progressive government's border facility cover-up. Authoritarian sounds less … [Read more...] about Authoritarian Trump a Threat to Totalitarian Democrats
Progressive Health Agenda is Medicare Fraud for All
Medicare for all is the rallying cry for an election-ready progressive health agenda that forgot that the party of progressives already promised us a health care system for everybody. We didn’t get what we were promised. That doesn’t mean we won’t get more fraudulent guarantees. Progressive health agenda: people-centered fraud Surprise House Candidate Alexandria … [Read more...] about Progressive Health Agenda is Medicare Fraud for All
EU Privacy Law Takes Leadership Away From U.S. Legislators
User privacy on the Internet is a bad joke at the user’s expense. That didn’t stop Europe from strong arming U.S. businesses with its sweeping new EU privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR took effect last Friday. Internet privacy is still a bad joke. The difference is that the new privacy law gives EU residents and our own legislators the … [Read more...] about EU Privacy Law Takes Leadership Away From U.S. Legislators
