Supporters of small government are officially in the minority.
And eentrenched Liberalism, to be referred to from here on out as the Empire, is going to use its ‘mandate’ for change to expand government, and then figure out how to pay for it later–with our incomes. (At the state and federal level)
No matter what you may think that means to you today, understand that government is a beast whose own survival requires tax dollars to feed upon. No one person in government–with only a few very rare exceptions–will elect to decrease their budget willingly. Bureaucratsare wired to multiply like rabbits, rabbits that end up in the public sector unions who then cost as much to fire as they do to keep. The more mouths there are to feed–that includes goofy programs–the more money they need to feed them.
All of this is paid for by you and I. Most of it is completely useless. And if you don’t believeme, think about this, then answer the question that follows. In the past two years the Democrats who ran New Hampshire wiped out an 80 million dollar budget surplus and added half a million in new spending all to grow government. Despite increased revenue every year, some form all the fees and taxes they raised, the democrats still out spent themselves and had to bond 80-90 million to balance their bloated budget. None of that addresses the expected 200-500 million deficit we already face today for the next budget.
Here’s the question. How much better was your life as a result of all this activity–growth of government and spending–by our democrat controlled state government? I did not gain a single thing.
My taxes went up. It costs me more to do stuff. That’s the only evidence I can see in my life that the efforts of the past two years amounted to anything, and I bet a significant majority of you have the exact same answer.
Well guess what–they are about to do it again. And don’t be fooled by promises to ‘slash-budgets.’ These are the same budgets they just bloated to no positive affect. Now they want to cut them?
The economy will only slow them down a tiny bit. Are you prepared to protect your wallet–your very lifestyle–from a spending program just looking for a bigger budget; from a government that happens to have a state (New Hampshire) instead of a State that happens to have a government.

There isn’t any doubt that supporters of small government seem to be in the minority. But we aren’t alone in the minority. There are many groups which are working toward the same goals. I encourage your readers to research and join an advocacy group that is working toward results that are important to them.
One of the ones I like is the Friends of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They allow people to work toward lower taxes, less government regulation, and job growth. I visit their site a lot and I just saw that they have a video up which talks about what people can do now that the election is over. Hopefully it helps some of your readers:

We are not alone.
(That sounds familiar. )
Thanks for the link. But you know one of the problems we have is that there are too many ‘groups’ focusing on a single aspect or philosophy of the benefits of small government, (Or some other conservative idea) that while relevant, divides the message, (or the time needed to get the entire message) divides the support, and the resources needed to get people in office who beleive it, and vote for it.
Stay tuned. I’m working on that problem right now. I’ll let you know how it works out.
