We should return to small government

My parents always preached that “honesty is the best policy.” Period. On July 24, our president said we have, among other things, “phony scandals.” Benghazi? Fast and Furious? IRS? Oh, Obamacare will reduce your health care bills. Come on! No new taxes? Sure! Invest in infrastructure (that means more deficits and more debt).

How long do we have to put up with this? Let’s get back to taking care of ourselves and be independent, not dependent on government. Cut government unions now. Stop spying on us now. Educate “low information voters” now. Return to small government, balanced budgets and the Constitution now. Get rid of dishonest, phony government.
