Just Say No to Big Government

The bloated budget and massive debt that continues to plague the state of South Carolina is a microcosm of the bloated budget and massive debt that continues to plague the entire United States. Everyone from across the political spectrum will generally agree that such reckless behavior is a problem and we cannot go on forever conducting business as usual. Yet when any leader dares to reverse course by saying "no," such leaders will invariably find themselves being attacked for daring to obstruct business as usual. The same state legislature that created our current economic woes are the same leaders who are now saying Sanford is the problem, as if a more cooperative gubernatorial extension of themselves would be preferable and somehow produce different, better results.

Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina is opposing the time tested theory of economics supported by our leaders: spend a lot now and spend a lot more later then raise taxes and claim they need it for the children. He is being villainized for his efforts by Democrats and Republicans alike.
