Government is NOT the answer. To quote the first president of the United States: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." That is why I agree with Mitt Romney's speech after one of the primaries when he said something along the lines of how we ought to go to out family for support first, then our friends and neighbors, then our churches and local organizations, then to charities and non-profits, then to banks, credit unions, and other private sector businesses that can help, and only if ALL of those fail should we go to the government.
That is what has made the USA great in the past, a bottom up economic society that keeps the government in line and the people free. Obama supports exactly the opposite. He wants a government first top down economic society where most of the freedoms of the past are restricted or eradicated so that we better fit in with the rest of the socialist western world. What has made America great in the past though is not "fitting in"; it's standing up and being a unique and peculiar people who can make the large republic theory of government work through virtue and the inspired structural protection of our constitution; unafraid of what the rest of the world views us as; relatively unchallenged in both military might and free market economic prowess.
