Sine Metu (It's alive!)

As the U.S. continues its proliferating pace to catch up to the rest of the world, who seemingly feels it's okay for its citizenry to live under a "Nanny State" — or a place where government spending outclips its country's economic output by about two to one (ref: Cato Institute) — I couldn't help but pass along this little factoid:

According to the Global Business and Economic Roundtable on Mental Health, depression among Canada's public servants has reached epidemic proportions.

This health research group said that mental health claims account for nearly half of all disability claims by public workers, including teachers, nurses, police, military, and government bureaucrats.

Either this large crowd of public servants totally knows how to game the very system (sorta like raiding their own cookie jar) that pays them (i.e., filing false mental health claims)... or... they really are what my Grandma in Alabama used to call "down and out."

Or, the way I'd say it: they're working in a status-quo environment, controlled by elite group ideology that suppresses progress and innovation.

In the words of Bill Wilkerson (the health research group's head): "bureaucrats often end work each day feeling that they have accomplished nothing."

Exactly, Bill!

NADA! Zip!

You see, as stalwart proponents of individual achievement, like Ayn Rand, have often shouted from the rooftops:

"Abundance was not created by public sacrifices to 'the common good,' but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes."

And private fortunes are built in a society that encourages being different... being a critical-thinker... being a person of ideas... being a producer!

Because, truly, there's never a money problem, as the lack of it (like clockwork) is always rooted in stagnant ideas or dormant activity.

There are amazing people out in the world who are producing things, and involved in enterprise, for all the right reasons.

Yet, in order to continue to grow this ever-dwindling worldwide crowd, it's my contention that we need to start promoting entrepreneurship, personal accountability, and the pursuit of individual happiness and wealth.

'Nuff said!

• You cannot spend your way out of a recession.
• You cannot regulate the economy into oblivion and expect it to function.
• You cannot tax people and businesses to the point of near slavery and expect them to keep producing.
• You cannot create an abundance of money out of thin air without making all that paper worthless.
• The government cannot make up for rising unemployment by just hiring all the out of work people to be bureaucrats or send them•unemployment checks forever.
• You cannot live beyond your means indefinitely.
• The economy must actually produce something others are willing to buy.
• Government growth is the opposite of all these things.
