In order to survive tough economic times, private businesses downsize. They layoff employees, freeze salaries, reduce budgets, reduces prices, and look to economize in every possible area. Why doesn’t our government do the same?
Although it defies common sense, here is the action government takes in hard times:
- Government raises taxes
- Government spends more money
- Government votes itself raises
- Government creates new bureaucracies
- Government grows in size
Is it any wonder that government "help" typically makes situations worse?
