Mr. Edwards explains that not only has federal spending doubled from merely eight years ago when the Bush Administration came into power, but also that government is charting new territory by intervening in areas typically left to the states, localities, and individuals. Not only are these subsidies in and of themselves costly on the part of the taxpayer, but they also foster lobbying groups that push for an even more enhanced government role in those respective areas and so forth. This situation is slated to only become worse with the Obama Administration in power. Yet, with the Tea Parties and other expressions of public sentiment against this level of government intervention (spending, taxing, etc), there is hope that the country's current trajectory might change towards what our Founding Fathers envisioned: limited government, individual rights, and free enterprise.
