It is not conservative values that have landed us in the mess that we are in now. Conservatism would dictate that you do not spend what you do not have; that ideal would not land us in the problem that we are in now.
What probably landed us in this problem is that Americans, when it comes to politics, are more ignorant now than they have ever been. We may be able to build complex networks that send information near the speed light so that we can watch all the porn we want on our computers but ask ten people what the Glass-Steagall act is and I would bet 9 would not know.
If Americans would pay attention to who they were voting for and demanded accountability for our government officials we would not be in this problem.
I guess maybe the government should accept that Americans are becoming too ignorant to be allowed to make their own decisions. They should raise all of our taxes to 100% and distribute wealth equally and accordingly to all people. We should be told what to eat and in what amounts, to cut down on obese people draining the health care system. We should be told to when to sleep and when to wake, to cut down on people falling asleep while driving. We should be told when we can use the bathroom, to cut down on the stress to the sewer systems if everyone were to flush the toilet at the same time. We should be told what to wear, so people do not feel threatened by another’s clothes. We should be told who to marry, to cut down on how much divorce cost our court systems. We should be told how many kids to have and what gender they should be, so that we can keep a balanced society. The list goes on, but if we were told everything to do we would not have to worry about anything anymore and turn everything over to our ever expanding government and then there would be no crime, no pollution and no poverty.
