And Now We Need The Government to Motivate Us?

As the Congress debates the next stimulus package (I've lost count as to how many this makes), I am amazed at the response of the American people.

I guess I really shouldn't be too surprised, but I am actually hearing and seeing reports of people waiting on their government to determine how they are going to move on with their lives.

It's as if they are in a state of reduced animation while they wait for their government to give them money or a program that will seemingly enhance their existence so that they will feel motivated to participate in life again.

Fortunately, we are entrepreneurs and we don't need - or even want - government programs. We don't need or want bailouts or stimulus packages. Anything that artificially props up an economy that needs a natural correction is doing us all a disservice and only forestalling the inevitable.

Take the country off life support now. No more. No more government spending. Stop excessive taxation to give people more disposable income. We can spend our way to prosperity - but only from the private side, and not with an infusion of public money.
