To receive a favor is to sell your liberty.
I've been thinking about this Latin quip lately as it relates to our current economic situation.
When listening to our President it is astounding how fundamentally different he thinks about the role of government in America. I wonder how so many people can be so completely entranced by his socialist ideals and not become alarmed for the future of our country and the effect it will have on all of us.
An American Spectator article puts it this way:
"This massive increase in federal welfare spending is an abuse of the public and American taxpayers, who are looking to Obama and Congress to restore economic growth. Instead, Obama and the Congressional Democrat majorities are using the excuse of the economic downturn to take advantage of taxpayers and provide for an explosion in welfare spending to serve left-wing extremist ideological goals. The economy does not grow based on increased welfare, trillion dollar plus deficits, and multitrillion dollar increases in national debt. It grows based on incentives for savings, investment, starting or expanding businesses, job creation, entrepreneurship, and work. But there is nothing in all of Obama's runaway spending increases that does anything like that."

Wow, powerful article. Thanks for posting!
I was the MN Tax Cut Rally yesterday and took a little "mini quiz" to find out where I was on the conservative-liberal spectrum. Not surprisingly, I scored strongly as a Libertarian.
