Are enough American citizens aware of the "Socialism that is taking over our wonderful American society"?
Are there enough American citizens, that are going to become activists for the saving of the Constitution Principals? The pricipals that allowed this country to become great!
It is extreamly sad when intellegent American citizens and politicians can see today what, "Socialism" has done to very successful countries in the world. Additionally, the study of history gives us further proof of the disaster of "Socialism". Why? With all of this proof, "Socialism Creates Economic Disasters" ... Why do we continue on the fast track to "Socialism"?
What is the attraction of "Socialism"? It must be the "Promise of Social Programs" ... programs that someone else pays for.
PS: I still get input from, interviews of people, that say: "They are still waiting for some of 'Obama's Money' that they were promised after President Barack Hussein Obama was elected"? ... Some of my interviews basically leave me speechless.
Thank you for your time. This is a very good article by Jim Powell, information that places perspective to the problems that America faces today. Articles like these are to promote "Constitution Activism".

The Disaster of Government-Run Businesses, Part 1

Part 1 | Part 2 [To be posted]
Barack Obama defied experience everywhere when he stubbornly claimed he could make a government-run health program work. The standard practice of any government-run business is to provide favored interest groups with something for nothing, forcing other people to pay for it, and there always seem to be complications.
If Obama really wanted to see how nationalizing health care was likely to turn out, all he had to do was look across the Canadian border. Canadian governments gained control of the health-care business so they could give voters subsidized health-care benefits, but that led everybody to want more, which bid up health-care prices, which then led officials to try to control soaring health-care prices with health-care rationing and below-market compensation for doctors.
