You mistake me for one of the coffee-shop theologians whose fruitless dithering and debating turned the Libertarian Party from a bold new initiative into a justly-disregarded footnote.
No, I'm a Taft Republican - a landowning, taxpaying, law-abiding Goldwater Reagan Republican who remembers when the sole business of the Federal Governmment was to "protect the country, coin money and leave us alone."
It was not through Federal Socialism that America came to "sit bestride the world like a Colossus." Once, half of all manufacturing worldwide was within the USA. Look today: What isn't "Made in China"?
C Northcote Parkinson stated it best: Nations thrive until the ever-growing burden of government crush them into the ground.
Once was le Grand Siècle - and what is France today? Once Britannia ruled the waves - today it, too, is disregarded, pushed aside by America… which is now just another European tax-and-regulate country. In every case, "There oughtta be a law" - and soon there are too many. For the Greater Good, of course - right, Hillary? (Her contempt for the people she sought to govern was always palpable.)
Once, one income was enough to raise a family. Today, two incomes are not enough - but we have a 1.85 trillion "social spending bill".
That's not my America. And so many people agreed that it put D Trump in office. He was a symptom of our awareness: This is wrong.
Too bad he was what he turned out to be.
(“Stimulus check”? Sure! Here's $3,030 for you. Good day… No? Then where are $1,850,000,000,000 of our money going, and what ever is accomplished?
