Populism is alive and well - the economy and the Constitution
September 30, 2008
Let’s discuss the conservative viewpoint of the populist nightmare. Listen to any stump speech by your local, state and national politicians who are running for office and count the number of times he or she makes a promise to deliver something of value to you.
What should be the role of the federal government - or any government agency - be when it comes to ‘driving’ the economy? The preamble of the Constitution tasks government with promoting the general welfare, not providing the general welfare. Pull out a dictionary and look up the difference.

Obama faults people for clinging to religion and it’s clear; he wants them to cling to government. Read more
