For most politically active Americans, big
government is not really a problem. It’s just the matter of who happens to be
in charge of that big government at any given time.
Those who supported Trump and opposed the big
government projects of Obama are now cheering the big government programs of
Donald Trump. Amongst other things, Trump has promised to build a gigantic and
incredibly expensive wall; increase an already bloated military; and become
further involved in internal affairs of foreign nations, etc.
Big government creates horrendous problems
and then offers solutions that always involve MORE BIG GOVERNMENT.
Thus it is with the problem of immigration.
The Federal government created it and now Donald’s big government machine
promises to solve it. But it never happens.
How do I know that the border wall will be a
boondoggle, you ask? The answer is easy – it will be a boondoggle because it
will be built by the Federal government.
There are more viable
solutions, but those in government will never willingly accept these
solutions. They will not accept those solutions, because they do not require BIGGER government; but rather
SMALLER government and that does not fit into their plan of ever increasing the
power, scope, and wealth of the central government.
So, what are the solutions?
1. Stop all welfare, food stamps, government education
and any other “entitlements” to illegal aliens.
Without these “benefits”, the illegals will
begin to self-deport. They were drawn here by the promise of “free stuff” –
shut it down and most of them will leave.
While I’m on this, let me state that welfare,
food stamps, government education and any other “entitlements” should be stopped
entirely and for EVERYONE. None of these things are the proper function of
government; none of them are constitutional; and all of them on create a
helpless and dependent population.
2. Stop creating “refugees” by invading and bombing
foreign countries where we have no business being in the first place.
We create refugees by destabilizing countries
around the globe with our “nation building”; involving ourselves in their
internal politics; and by seeking to impose the “American solution” on peoples
that are not our concern and who are incapable of implementing such a solution.
Beyond this, Amerikan jingoism creates
enemies at the far corner of the earth as well. We should not be so stupid as
to think that all these terrorists hate us for our freedom. They hate us
because we invaded their countries; destroyed their homes; killed their fathers,
and brothers, and sons; they hate us because we violated their mothers, and
sisters, and daughters.
Get out of their countries and they will not
be pouring across the borders of our country as “refugees” and jihadists.
Bring the troops home. Bring them ALL home.
3. End the so-called “War on Drugs”.
In reality, it has only been a war against the
rights, liberties and privacy of ALL Americans.
Personally, I am opposed to the recreational
use of drugs, but government has no business telling citizens what they may
grow; or what they may inject; or what they may smoke; or what have you. It is
ridiculous to put people in jail for possessing a plant for crying out loud.
Ending the “War on Drugs” will shut down the
lucrative cross border drug traffic by organized crime and violent gangs.
Final Thoughts
You will notice that none of the proposals
will require any increased governmental actions. No, they only require that the
government stops doing the stupid things it is now doing. It involves not more government
spending, but would actually astronomically reduce it. This would only be a win
. . . win . . . win situation.
It would actually work a great deal better
than anything else that is being advanced . . . and for that reason we can
expect to never see it implemented.
Bottom line: We don’t need more government –
we need less.
remains on the only viable solution.

Hello Greg. My name is Ebon Kim. I've been reading your blog, and would be interested in having a conversation with you some day, if you would be so inclined. I am looking for allies. A common ground is what's needed to make America what it was first intended to be. If someone such as yourself, with your beliefs and thoughts, is able to stand with mine, then it is possible to make real change. As an agnostic, I tend to think beliefs are not a choice, but the conviction of having a choice, is what was fundamental in establishing the Articles of Confederation. In having a strong central government (which we no longer need), choice and governance is an illusion. Thanks.
