			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s always interesting to note how the other nations media (could call it propaganda, especially from how <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-american_capitalism-0">this article</a> is written) see what&#8217;s going on in our country. The sad thing is, I tend to agree with most of the observations in that article. Our nations government has hurtled us down a rabbit hole that unfortunately, we do know the end of. It&#8217;s not good. Note to self: I should read that book <a href="http://www.mises.org/store/Road-to-Serfdom-The-P252.aspx"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Road to Serfdom</span></a> (or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-Serfdom-Documents-Definitive-Collected/dp/0226320553/ref=sr_1_1/178-4702223-4838559?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1243822239&amp;sr=8-1">from Amazon</a>.) We are so very much losing the freedoms this nation was founded on. We&#8217;re losing what made this nation great. It wasn&#8217;t the government that made this country great. It was the <em>limits</em> on government. It was keeping government out of the way to allow people to do what they thought best. Now our government seems to know best for everything.</p>

<p>That is spectacular! If my budget at home had this kind of deficit, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to eat, much less help anyone else.</p>
<p>The only solution to this is smaller government. A dramatic reduction of government programs is needed. Shut down vast government bureaucracies, and make it cheaper for government to operate.</p>
<p>This country will cease to exist with a continuing deficit like this.</p>
