The growth of government is unsustainable and must be reversed. The portion of Gross Domestic Product absorbed by government is increasing and it’s a severe drain on the private economy and our ability to grow employment.

Healthcare requires a more measured approach. Reform must encourage interstate competition, change malpractice liability laws, encourage individuals to invest in their own health, develop taxing policies for individuals to purchase insurance and encourage the availability of provider and procedure cost as well as quality information.

Government deficits and private growth are incompatible. High taxes are starving individuals and enterprise and can only promote economic stagnation. Every American’s share of our unfunded national debt is over $200,000 and growing with trillions more projected. Government is killing the goose while we work harder for less.

Neither party has it right. The Democrats want more spending with larger programs. The Republicans want to cut taxes, but have been unwilling to cut spending. Both paths only feed the disease that is killing us.
