Change?

“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end, and no sense of responsibility at the other.”  Ronald Reagan

According to most polls the United States is about to experience a cultural change to the liberal left. Liberalsm historically means more government intrusion and management of our lives. And our government’s track record of managing large initiatives successfully is not a good one.

Will we really change? If Congress, the Senate and the White House all go Liberal, we will. Will the change be as dire as some predict? Again, it is difficult to imagine the government successfully managing so much of our eonomy and our lives.

Reagan was right most of the time. As executive leaders we should all carefully consider the proposed changes before us and vote according to what we believe is best for the USA.
