We either start taking advice and warnings from people like Patrick Buchanan in this particular piece, or the serious trouble for this country is just beginning
Socialist America sinking: "After half a century of fighting encroachments upon freedom in America, journalist Garet Garrett published 'The People's Pottage.' A year later, in 1954, he died. 'The People's Pottage' opens thus:
'There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.'
Garrett wrote of a revolution within the form. While outwardly America appeared the same, a revolution within had taken place that was now irreversible. One need only glance at where we were before the New Deal, where we are and where we are headed to see how far we are off the course the Founding Fathers set for our republic.
Taxes drove the American Revolution, for we were a taxaphobic, liberty-loving people. That government is best that governs least is an Americanism. When 'Silent Cal' Coolidge went home in 1929, the U.S. government was spending 3 percent of gross domestic product.
And today? Obama's first budget will consume 28 percent of the entire GDP; state and local governments another 15 percent. While there is some overlap, in 2009, government will consume 40 percent of GDP, approaching the peak of World War II." continued at "The deficit for 2009"
