We're still waiting.

We're still waiting for the real economic stimulus bill from congress that will allow America to recover from the mess that our meddling megalomaniac government officiouscrats got us into.

Where is the legislation that tells politicians and bureaucrats to get the hell out of the way so that workers can work and creators can create and inventors can invent and entrepreneurs can entrep?

Where is the bill that will allow libertarians to liberate?

Government can’t create jobs, it can only create busy-work. Government can’t even create money. Not real money. It can print big president heads on paper and stamp birds and buffaloes on metal but if there is nothing to buy because farmers haven’t farmed and manufacturers haven’t manufactured and businesses haven’t busied, the stuff that government calls money is just paper and metal.

You can’t build a house of paper or make a meal of metal.

In fact, without loggers and truckers and paper mills and ink makers and miners and smelters and engravers and an entire society of industrious people to feed and clothe and house those workers and transportation systems to move those raw materials government can’t even make their fake money.

But politicians don’t want you to know that. They don’t want you to understand that they are 100% overhead. They produce nothing. Their total existence depends on coercively taking what productive people produce.

Politicians and bureaucrats want you to think that they are the producers. They want you to believe that they are the god of the machine magically appearing to solve all problems.

Politics is nothing more nor less than the process of manipuling people. And the people-manipulators can no more restrain themselves from manipulating people than a hungry hyena can force itself to stop eating carrion.

As long as you keep enabling politicians by believing in them and making heroes of them and demanding that they help you at the expense of others (which is the only possible way politicians can help you) then you will forever, knowingly or not, be the carrion for the hyenas.

So where is the economic stimulus bill that tells politicians and bureaucrats to get the hell out of our way?

Libertarians aren't holding their breath.

The truth is there will never be such a bill. There will never be a true economic stimulus bill as long as government exists. Government will only and forever create stimulus bills designed to benefit politicians and bureaucrats and the politically connected class of takers that routinely support them.

The Iron Rule of Bureaucracy states that every bureaucracy exists primarily to benefit the bureaucrats who run it.

Watch and see as government gets ever bigger while your life gets ever smaller as a consequence.
