Downsizing the Federal Government
Congratulations to the Cato Institute for their new initiative and website, Downsizing the Federal Government. As everyone know, and the website points out, “The federal government is running massive budget deficits, spending too much, and heading toward a financial crisis. Without a change of direction in Washington, average working families will be faced with huge tax increases and a lower standard of living.” The website points out:
“Some people have lofty visions about how government spending can help society. But the essays on this website put aside such “bedtime stories” about how government programs are supposed to work, and instead focuses on how they actually work in the real world.”
Please visit Cato’s new website. See how each department in the federal government grew. Learn how the different departments spend your taxes. Obtain background information the different departments. Then look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you really want to turn over healthcare to the federal government.
