From the Mailbag
KBJ:
As I prepare for Dubya's State of the Union speech by readying pen and paper (to list all the goodies that will cost more money), it makes me wonder: 1) Just how much can governments expand before they are OFFICIALLY socialistic? And 2) IF all elected politicians refuse to freeze government spending (please list the exceptions...), is that not an admission that they WANT our country to slide into socialism? Or can we infer (hope?) that at SOME point they will come to their senses and reverse course? Can drug addicts ascertain JUST the right time to stop before becoming addled? Ka-chink!
