Limited government must make a return

American voters spoke loud and clear in this election that we want our federal and state representatives and senators to stop deficit spending on unnecessary and wasteful grants, subsidies, “pork” projects and bailouts that are bankrupting our country.

We must return to responsible, conservative government that lives within the boundaries of a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility. History shows that socialistic governments wind up in loss of freedom, free enterprise and ultimate disaster for nations.

Our Founding Fathers understood this danger and set up a government that was limited and had checks and balances to keep it limited and responsible to the people. We have put too much power and control in federal government and bureaucracy. We implore our elected representatives to repeal the disastrous health care bill, the unnecessary “cap and trade” bill, and stop earmark spending and bailouts.

We must also stop the Federal Reserve from pumping billions of printed dollars into our economy that will eventually result in rampant inflation.

If we do not return to limited government, we face the inevitable collapse of our freedoms and our survival as a free enterprise nation. God help us.
