A Short, Sweet & Simple, State Of The Union Speech...

"The budget should be balanced. Public spending should be
reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered,
and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed,
lest Rome become bankrupt."

Marcus Tullius Cicero,
Address to the Roman Senate, Approx. 45 B.C.

What more needs to be said?

SOTB

I don't see that as a contradiction. Free markets (I mean really free -- not one manipulated by banksters, special privelege and disproportionate taxation) will undo this -- the problem is the abuse of government control by these elite to enrich themselves -- the answer is not to exert government control in the other direction, but to give others a chance by not insisting they tie two hand behind their backs before competing.
