So, What Should Be Done?

As reported in my previous post, the Clintons are still up to their old tricks of bartering political favors for cash or other goodies, such as chartered flights on a private jet. Republicans do this sort of stuff quite often too. Our current president used his access to Daddy Bush to snare his fortune, back when Bush Sr. was VP and then president.

The problem is that our people in law enforcement are reluctant to do anything about it, because they depend on elected officials for their appointments to office, raises, promotions, etc. Likewise, the elected politicians do not want to prosecute the Clintons or anyone else, because they know that it will then be their turn to get knocked off the gravy train.

There is only one way to minimize the massive corruption of our government officials: reduce the size and scope of the government. If we have fewer federal, state, and local government agencies, fewer employees, and less spending on government projects, then there will be fewer opportunities for corruption. Limit government to national defense, controlling our borders, and the police and the courts. With few exceptions, almost everything else done by government can be handled much more efficiently in the private sector.

Isn't that a simple solution? Easy to say but not easy to do. Too many people like Bill and Hillary have a vested interest in having a large government. They will fight like a wild hyena to prevent anyone from taking away their sugar daddy.
