Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 19, 2010

Advocates of government spending seem to be entirely unacquainted with the word ?enough.? There appears to be no limit to the amount of wealth they devour. Every suggested reduction in spending levels is greeted with anguished protests and predictions of social turmoil.

This routine continues even now, when our country faces the immediate prospect of undisguised bankruptcy because of unrestrained government profligacy.

The Tea Party movement coalesced from healthy and widespread anger and frustration over our unfolding economic collapse. However, most of the candidates associated with that movement have been unable to specify the spending reductions they would support, often taking refuge in the familiar and tiresome refrain that we should cut ?waste, fraud and abuse.?

The only way to save the economy is to kill the welfare-warfare state. This means ending all federal entitlement programs and ending Washington?s imperial foreign policy abroad. Unless we do both, neither will ever happen ? that is, until the complete destruction of our economy solves the problem for us.

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