A Simple Government: Twelve Things We Really Need From Washington (and a Trillion That We Don’t!) Audiobook (Free)

‘We need a simple government. Do not get me incorrect; I know that lots of of the country’s problems are highly complex. But I also understand that the regulating principles that may resolve them, if we interact, are simple.’

Armed with small money but a lot of good sense, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee surprised the nation by coming in second during the 2008 Republican presidential primaries. He linked to millions of voters by calling for a smaller, simpler government that could get about A Simple Authorities: Twelve Factors We ACTUALLY NEED From Washington (and a Trillion That We Don’t!) taken care of when appropriate. (However, there weren’t quite more than enough of these voters to prevent the election of Barack Obama.)

Since then, President Obama’s message provides morphed from ‘hope and switch’ to ‘tax and spend’ and ‘borrow and spend’ and ‘over-regulate and spend.’ The stimulus failed to stop the downturn, the deficit exploded to unimaginable levels, as well as the Democrats jammed through Congress a financial ‘reform’ expenses that didn’t really reform anything and a healthcare monstrosity that gave the federal government more power over our personal lives than ever.

Meanwhile, Huckabee provides continued to be the tone of voice of good sense conservatism, through his television talk show, his radio commentaries, and his lectures around the country. Now he’s written a book that sums up the twelve issues we really need from Washington to get the country back again on the right track.

These twelve important truths will have you nodding in contract, whether you’re a Republican, an Independent, and even an open-minded Democrat. They can help us reserve our differences, tone down the partisan rancor, and go back to the simple principles from the Founding Fathers: liberty, justice, personal independence, and civic virtue. And they might help us deal with also the most seemingly complicated of today’s complications. For instance:

* You can’t spend what you don’t have; you can’t borrow everything you can’t repay. Families, businesses, cities, cities, and says all need to stability their costs or face dire effects. Why shouldn’t the federal government be held to the same regular? And if which means producing some hard options now, it’s a far better choice than saddling our kids and grandkids. * The further you drift from shoreline, the much more likely you should be lost at sea. The Founders expected the federal government to become subordinate to state and local governments. How do politicians in DC know the ultimate way to help farmers in Iowa, autoworkers in Michigan, or educators in California? They can’t. So every issue should be solved at most regional level with the capacity of solving it.

* Bullies in the playground only understand a very important factor. There’s a period and place for diplomacy, but we can not protect the united states simply by negotiating with our enemies. We need a strong national protection and a counterterrorism policy that focuses on effectiveness, not politics correctness.

* The main form of federal government is the family members. Over time, the only path to ensure prosperity, safety, and equivalent opportunity is to make sure we raise our children to be ethical and successful citizens. No bureaucracy can substitute parents for the reason that essential role, so we have to do everything feasible to help parents do their job.

A Simple Government will inspire any American looking forward to a better potential.
