Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 3, 2009

It appears that the political class is strangely giddy about the same economic catastrophe that has left hundreds of millions anxious, alarmed, and frightened about the future.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is in Washington to address Congress today, has candidly referred to the global economic meltdown as a chance to erect a new global political and economic order ? what he calls ?a global New Deal.?

According to Brown, in this new arrangement would require radically expanded government spending by every nation and region of the globe, and a much larger role for governments in regimenting economies. It would also require international coordination through an entity that sounds a great deal like a world central bank.

This vision of a new world order would mean full employment and job security for socialist parasites around the globe. For those of us in the productive class, the prospects are nowhere near as bright.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
