Big government out of control
Our government has become a huge monster. A $17 trillion dollar debt, huge unemployment, 50 million people on food stamps and we’re confronted daily with lies, waste and scandals. In addition to our three branches of government, a fourth destructive branch has emerged which I’ll call the “Regulations Branch.”
This branch has grown like a cancer with the federal government adding thousands of new regulations each year. Adding state and local regulations, last year the number balloons to 77,000. The Federal Tax Code is 70,000 pages. Obamacare already contains 15,000 pages.
Bigger government is the formula for destruction. You and I just might be living in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. Our government is what politicians make it. Vote in November.

Upon hearing that Drew Johnson has been fired for an extremely accurate title and editorial about our president, I want to cancel my subscription to the Times Free Press.
