They go hand in hand.
If people want less government, they should be better people.

Initially, the will of the people.

You could have simply said, "I don't understand."

 

[hog88]

People make up government and government attracts the worst people.

You think there are others he would understand even less?

With the absence of DD they had to call Luther up from the minors.

We shouldn't elect the worst people. Seems like that's on the people.
Like I said..........be better.

Congrats! Welcome us both to the club! I’m actually going back part time a couple of days a week because my wife decided I needed to if I was going to survive.

Government is comprised of many more people than the ones we elect. The bureaucrats are the people that actually run the government.

Congrats to you!!
My wife retired also and we are both working part time.
I'm thinking of staying on part time for a couple of more years - we're to young to do nothing.
Plus, both of my daughters are engaged so I have 2 weddings to pay for in the next year.

Yes. That’s why i said it dovetails nicely.

The ones at the top are appointed by the ones we elect.
You can't trash the government without trashing the people.
Our government kind of sucks; but then again, our people kind of suck. I don't see a big difference.
Better people would have a better government.

Sort of a foundational principle of mine.

Our people do not suck, our people have simply become complacent.

My wife is retired also. Which is why she said I have to get out of the house a couple of days a week

IOW..we need Big Daddy government because we are not "better"..what a broad dumbass statement
Anyone think we might be better if we didn't have the self perpetuating welfare state?

 

[Orangeburst]

Stop electing people who run up the deficit. Hell...Reagan is the Godfather of deficit spending and people idolize him.

Lie
