Another Government PLAN

Central planning is a placebo for the masses and steroids for the central planners.

President Obama just announced a PLAN to help small businesses get credit. He is offering 17 billion for an industry that supplies 70% of the jobs in the U.S. AIG, one company, got ten times that amount.

I suspect this is a way for small businesses to pay the extra taxes in a recent tax PLAN by the government to raise taxes on upper income earners.

I also suspect the new PLAN is to help small businesses pay for the extra labor cost in the new proposed PLAN (EFCA) that makes it easier for labor unions to recruit new members for the Democratic Party. A few hundred more union members in each congressional district will go to the democratic candidate in a close election. That's a good PLAN for the democrats

The government last week announced a new education PLAN that would send billions of dollars to local school districts.

The government is going to announce a new PLAN for your health care.

The government's stimulus includes a PLAN for you to develop alternative energies.

The government PLANS for marriage, divorce, child support, forests, watershed, environment, parks, wildlife, etc., etc. My local government even PLANS a place for you to walk your dog.

The U.S. government has a PLAN for the Taliban, Iraq, Iran, and most of the whole world.

How do you like being treated as a child, having some other person planning your life?

Have you ever noticed the debates between individuals are about the government PLANS that run our lives. Some individuals like the PLANS and some don't. If there were no government PLANS there would be fewer arguments between individuals.

Unfortunately, too many individuals want some government employee to PLAN our lives. Those government employees are very happy to comply because it creates work and power for them.

To the government mob I say, -"I own my life, let me live it. Stop making PLANS for me."

"Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings, when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior, can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness." Fred Woodworth
