Limited Government?

The Lake County Central assignment in Washington D.C.just made me think more of how our government has been heading in the wrong direction for years.  D.C. is a police state which has museums in it.  Guards, police, machine guns, police dogs, cameras, barricades, fences, guarding every building against the public.   Gone is the day when someone could walk up to an elected servant of the people and just say hello. 

We saw thousands of staff running around doing all kinds of work to keep the government machine working.  During WWII there was a slogan, "Is this trip necessary?", it was to remind people that gasoline resources were scarce and were needed to help fight the war.  The slogan today should be: Is this work necessary?   Our resources, our national treasure are limited and needed to keep the Country running, it should not be wasted doing work that government does not do well.

We need less regulation, investigators, committees, bureaus, and bureaucrats.  Insurance companies, banks, the media, private lawyers, unions, special interest groups, and ordinary citizens will not let our environment, work place, and homes become unsafe and polluted.  We do not need the government telling us how to live.
