“Everybody complains about pork, but members of Congress keep spending because voters do not throw them out of office for doing so. The rotten system in Congress will change only when the American people change their beliefs about the proper role of government in our society. Too many members of Congress believe they can solve all economic problems, cure all social ills, and bring about worldwide peace and prosperity simply by creating new federal programs. We must reject unlimited government and reassert the constitutional rule of law if we hope to halt the spending orgy.” PeopleIfsBelieveProblemGovernmentLawBeliefSocialRolesEconomicMembersOfficeCreatingProgramCongressProsperitySolveSpendingComplainingCuresOur SocietyRejectsVotersUnlimitedRottenRule Of LawHaltLimited GovernmentPorkEconomic ProblemsRole Of Government Author:Ron Paul

“The reality is the most important thing that can be done are these permanent changes like to the tax code, reduction of government spending. These are the things that pop up in economy and move it in the right direction, start to make it an economy that is moving because of the money in the private economy.
