You don’t run up $14 trillion of debt without cultivating vice as virtue. Thus, when the president speaks of confiscating more and more wealth from the private sector, the failure of which “would lead to fundamentally different America than the one we’ve known throughout most of our history,” far too many Americans can no longer recognize that most of American history has been one hundred and eighty degrees removed from such a preposterous assessment. The welfare state has been around for 60 years. America has been a country for 235. Perhaps some of the less brain-washed might occasionally ponder how our forebears managed to survive–dare I say flourish–without the all-encompassing “beneficence” of big government. They even might peruse the Constitution and discover that it is fundamentally structured to limit the power of government, not expand it.
