But to expect that ‘government' is a fairy godmother who will rescue you from your problems over any long period is just fantasy. Here's the good news: This country will be rescued by each of us doing what we can do in our own individual sphere of action as government works in its sphere of action. There are roughly 142 million men and women in the labor force. Their ingenuity, flexibility, energy, and confidence will make more difference than anything government does on an individual basis -- which is not to take away a thing from the effects of good policy.
In the free society, we rescue ourselves.
His commenters range from agreement to complete disregard. I'm encouraged by the latter group. If there are enough of those idiots around who expect the government to help them then I might just have a shot at surviving. They shouldn't be too difficult to compete with.
