Governments are the root cause of today's Economic problems!

Look deep inside our current economic malaise and you see "Governments" at the root. Think about it. How did Greece get into the problems that it has now?Their government did what ours is attempting to do. They borrowed from Peter to pay Paul and basically offered to the populace a beneficial lifestyle unheard of in developing countries and unrealistic in capitalistic enterprises. The Greek government, corrupted by itself, believed that somehow by providing ever increasing benefits to its' citizens that somehow not only would the politicians get re-elected, but the system could sustain itself. And its no surprise that the population would strongly object to reducing their beneficial world in any way similar to how here in the US every single man and woman on Social Security vehemently opposes the reduction of their benefits. The Greek problem should be an example to the liberal left of exactly what could happen when governments don't actually govern, they instead believe they are to provide a social safety net for all aspects of their society, no matter what the consequences. Somehow someway these programs will pay for themselves? Not! Looking at the US problem one sees that because of the politicians inability to manage a simple budget (which by the way should be their NUMBER 1 priority of office), we now face a set of economic conditions never before experienced in the history of America. And somehow, we standby and allow the very ones that have caused this to develop to be given responsibility for solving the problem. Their solution? Continue to spend more than they take in. Ridiculous. Looking around the world country by country it is fairly easy to see "governments" at the center of every major economic problem. From over regulation to under regulation to socialistic entitlement programs, virtually all of the worlds major economies are being negatively impacted by what the elected officials do, or don't do. Face it, the credentials of the very people we expect to solve the problems are so bad that how could we expect anything different than a continuation of the status quo. Sarah Palin has it right really...we need to get rid of the Permanent Political Class. Then and only then, do we have a chance of true reform. For the record, I am not a Sarah Palin fan, but I do agree with the basic message she is bringing to the table. Remove the PPC. I like it.
