Links and more links: Do we really need more government?
Posted By RichC on July 17, 2012
Said tongue in cheek, just to be clear … Without big government, individuals and their businesses couldn’t build anything, according to President Obama. I suspect if he had his way we’d even have more government funded federal programs and bureaucratic agencies to oversee innovative and productivity. (Wake up America … take a look at how that worked in the old USSR, Cuba, North Korea or for 
that matter in much of socialized Europe?)
