To big to fail? How about to big to be effective, in other other words, the federal government. Over the last 18 months, the Obama administration has inserted the federal government into both the personal lives of individuals and the mechanisms that balance our free market system. Your personal perspective decides if this is good or bad.
Sure, healthcare legislation was passed, but the intrusive bill is far from being implemented. As time passes and more details are learned, understood and questioned by the American people, legislation will be enacted to repeal this government power grab.
However, the next disturbing growth in government will not be a result of immigration or social issues, but in regulating greenhouse gases. The Washington Post article by David A. Fahrenthold and Juliet Eilperin, EPA left to pick up climate change where Congress dropped the debate, outlines the current strategy of the Obama administration. If successful, the EPA’s process to regulate greenhouse gases will be more subjective than that of the federal government’s healthcare reform since the legislative branch would not have been involved in voting on laws to regulate such greenhouse gases.
So the real question to those who enjoy some level of personal liberty, where will the federal government take over end?
