Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

February 2, 2010

According to the New York Times, the Obama administration?s budget projections present ?a picture of a nation that like many American homeowners simply cannot get above water.?

The budget envisions $5 trillion in tax increases and a $1.6 trillion deficit. This year, federal spending will devour nearly 11 percent of our nation?s entire economic output. Under the most optimistic projections, by the end of the decade that figure will climb to more than twenty percent. Given the destructive impact of government intervention in the economy, that percentage will likely be much greater as productivity shrinks while the government?s appetite continues to expand.

The Times points out that the grim fiscal forecast makes it unlikely that money will be found for new domestic initiatives, and suggests that America?s world influence ? as manifest in the ability to protect military power ? will wane.

Unless the government ruling us is brought to heel immediately, the USA will soon join the roster of nations ruined by the imperial ambitions of their rulers.

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