A special word to our ever growing government in Washington D C
“I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt…If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.” Thomas Jefferson
This is what independece is all about. I will not become dependent on our government to take care of me and my family
