The Rug Yank Phase of Fed Policy<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Bogus Jobs Pay Big Bucks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The political differences of today\u2019s two leading parties are not over ultimate questions of principle.\u00a0 Rather, they are over opposing answers to the question of how a goal can be achieved with the least sacrifice.\u00a0 For lawmakers, the goal is to promise the populace something for nothing, while pretending to make good on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"The short and sweet definition of democratic elections by eminent American wordsmith and political philosopher H.L. Mencken [PT]<\/p>\n

Take the latest tax bill, for instance.\u00a0 The GOP wants to tax less and spend more.\u00a0 The Democrat party wants to tax more and spend even more.\u00a0 We don\u2019t recall seeing any proposals to tax less, spend less, and shrink the size of the state.\u00a0 And why would we?<\/p>\n

\"\"When the government cuts back\u2026\u00a0 [PT]<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s central planners and social engineers are enlightened and progressive.\u00a0 They know much more about anything and everything than the rest of us.\u00a0In particular, they share a general sense that they know how to spend your money better than you.<\/p>\n

At best, the central planners call your money to Washington so they can then distribute it back to your friends and neighbors.\u00a0 In reality, the lawmakers call your money to Washington where they distribute it to their friends and neighbors \u2013 not yours.\u00a0 This is not a matter of opinion.\u00a0 It\u2019s a matter of fact.<\/p>\n

Is it a coincidence that the\u00a0top three<\/a>\u00a0wealthiest counties in the country are in the shadow of the Capitol in the D.C. suburbs?\u00a0 What exactly the residents of these counties do that is of tangible value is unclear.\u00a0 However, what is clear is that bogus government jobs in Loudoun County and Fairfax County, Virginia, pay big bucks.\u00a0 But that\u2019s not all\u2026<\/p>\n
