Politics Latest Messages: LOANS FOR 3% INTEREST RATE PER YEAR PERSONAL LOANS..

Sad but true. Once upon a time, long, long ago, they - actually taught this stuff in grade

school along with reading, writing, arithmetic, and history, basic economics, the Constitution, patriotism, and other useful subjects to help youngsters learn a trade, etc.

And then the left took control and decided indoctrination was more useful (to them) than educating the next generation. Why? Ronald Reagan summed it up: Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Big government/socialism destroys free-markets, productivity, the economy, private property, wealth (capital), individual liberty, national sovereignty and your country. Why is the UK no longer a superpower? The Labour Party came into power after WWII and they nationalized the banks, railroads, coal, steel, shipbuilding, heavy industry, and went to socialized healthcare and created a welfare state.

Socialism doesn't work. Period. Unless you like living in a controlled society that has to ration niceties like gasoline, electricity, bread, toilet paper, etc, and you like having the government moving other families in to share your assigned home. Oh, yeah, and you like waiting until you're dead to get an appointment through your government healthcare provider for that serious medical condition.

There is no such thing as a 'free' lunch.

You can't have open borders and a welfare state. They didn't teach this when I went to grade school back in the sixties, probably because welfare was basically a state and local thing, but shouldn't take our college graduates long to figure out why if they consider the millions of poor people within 'caravan' distance of our borders who would love to have government housing, welfare payments, foodstamps, free medical care, free education for their children and, eventually, voting rights so they can vote themselves even more 'free' stuff.

There is no problem too big or too small that big government can't make bigger.

Our Founders had it right with the Constitution, Limited Government, Enumerated Powers, the Bill of Rights, the Tenth Amendment, etc.

Teach your children well.
