WTF has small government ever given this world?

[Skull Pilot]

yeah and the "wetland" designation is misused by government all the time because the bureaucrats can call any piece of land that gets rained on wetlands

There are strict regulations on what constitutes a wetland
They examine the soil to determine if it is serving as a wetland

Those swamps we used to drain and build houses on are now protected and serve a valuable purpose in preserving the watershed for the whole community

Damned environmentalists!

you've obviously never dealt with a dept of wetlands

I live on land that was cleared farm land for over 100 years now much of it is called wetlands

it's not

I just had a wetlands development built behind my house and was on the committee overseeing which land could be built on and which was protected. It involved taking soil borings of the whole property to establish boundaries

It was a detailed process and was much more involved than just walking around and seeing if the ground squishes

Sounds like you need some Heavy rain.

Wetlands keep that heavy rain from running off. They act like a giant sponge

except the land behind me never was wetlands until the town decided they wanted to regrade the road and funnel all the water into it.

for 100 years before that it was cleared farmland that was allowed to lie fallow for last 20 or 30 years

so like I said the government can call anything they want wetlands if it suits their needs

Small government allows for a survival of the fittest economy
Those in a position of power thrive, while those least able to exert economic pressure suffer

Small government does nothing for We the People, while maintaining a low tax structure that allows the wealthy to remain that way

And big top heavy government is no better
and we have a huge bloated government yet you constantly whine that the rich just keep getting richer

Our Federal Government is the same size it was 50 years ago even though our population has nearly doubled

How is that bloated?

• In 1900 the federal government consumed less than 5 percent of total output.

• In 1950 the federal government consumed roughly 15 percent of total output.

• In 1992 the federal government consumed almost 25 percent of total output.

Say, aren't you the guy who vote for Barry Obama? You know, the first President who has had a growth rate under 2% his entire 8 years.

We are suppose to listen to your view on the economy?

Lets see...

Add Social Security in the 1930s
Add Medicare in the 1960s

You can call that consumption or funded programs to help We the People

Obama had a growth rate of over 2% every year

so the government has gotten bigger and bigger and it is not the same size it once was

He had steady growth for eight years. He also never saw a year where GDP went negative or a quarter where GDP went over negative seven percent. We have to look to Bush for that

We got the GDP we deserve. We instilled fiscal restraint on the government, maintained stagnant wages, did minimal domestic investment
You get what you pay for

Woops, missed it by 1%?

I reckon that changes everything.

so the US government has always been the country's largest employer?

I don't think so

Freedom in this case is the freedom to screw over the little guy, own other human beings and pollute the environment. I think there needs to be a reasonable level of government to protect the people from themselves and others. More or less to have a quality standard of life you can't have businesses crapping all over our nation.

Boy, the stupid is strong with you......Germany, 1930s......Russia, 1917....China...1920s......the biggest governments on earth....and they still couldn't get it right after murdering 100 million innocent men, women and children......

Government is the problem, not the solution to anything......the welfare states of Europe....and their social welfare programs....are all on borrowed time.....they would have crashed already, but the United States is paying for their national defense.......

Russia in 1917 and China in 1920 were not big governments. They did nothing for the majority of the population and relied on cheap labor from peasants who were near starvation. They invested little in infrastructure, education or healthcare. The wealthy flourished

That is when their big government started to murder their own people moron.......

Both of those governments were a result of small governments which exploited peasant workers to the point of revolt

Your Nazi Germany example is the complete opposite. They exploited nationalism and scapegoating and a split electorate to seize power. Much like Trump in 2016

Boy...that was stupid.....the national socialist government did exactly what you say you want....they controlled the entire economy.......exactly as you want, they controlled every aspect of life, just like you want......and they murdered about 12 million Europeans to do it.....

Odd...who ever said anything about controlling the economy?

Doing things for people is not socialism

The difference between social democracy that is used in every developed nation on earth and socialism is who owns the production. In social democracy the private sector generally controls the production and it also allows people to have property rights....

Socialism
- No private property
- No control of the production
-Little political power at the level of the people on the norm.

Social democracy in which every nation that is well developed is
-Private property
-The private sector controls the vast % of the production.
-The people can vote

Another difference is the size of the public sphere...Socialism everything is done and shared within the politic sector but social democracy only things that everyone enjoys like infrastructure, education and in some cases healthcare are within this sphere.

Pure capitalism as you conservatives are fighting for would just allow the rich and the upper class to become barons again and do as they wish. As they wish in this case is to take it all and stash it and mistreat the rest of the country.
