"Big" is not better
I make no bones about my disdain for big government and for what it matters big business. I don’t believe that “big” makes something evil, but mostly due to the fact that big makes it more susceptible to defending itself against any and all reforms no matter how much sense those reforms make.
I love competition and capitalism but that means we have to see stories like the one this Christmas where Chevy plans to close down 5 American plants while keeping all the foreign plants open; meanwhile the CEO takes home 22 million a year! I don’t think that this is capitalisms flaw but that of boards that don’t do their job and the concept of CEOs as unreplaceable no matter their performance (why I have complained in the past about “golden parachutes.”)Big unions have bloated hierarchy that plays a con-game of taking money from the pockets of their members to give to politicians who then give favors back to the union leaders. Often these favors are new laws that effect other companies and non-union shops.Media.Main Stream Media.I watch it all and believe that the biggest issue I see repeated is the withholding/not-reporting of issues.CNN and MSNBC often have complete blackouts of stories yet continually repeat “news” like this: “Our sources tell us that the president is isolated and angry.” – CNN anchor.Seriously?Opinion is fine if that is what the show is about; I do appreciate when a station brings in opposing views, although I don’t believe in opposing spin- facts should be front and center.I love me a good conspiracy story (I hope a write a pretty good one anyway) I do tiptoe around some of those being spun in the presidents favor; I want all the facts out before I make final conclusions!Two things about this story: Mueller Investigation.1.) It rings true of “Big” government. Remember that Comey barked back at a republican congressman that when he signed the FISA warrant, it WAS NOT to confirm the accuracy of the information it contained, but to confirm that the correct people had signed it before him. Do you see how corrupt this is? This however is typical of big government- the safety measures of getting multiple eyes on something to ensure accuracy gets turned into a procedure to get signatures. In business audits they would often have a question that stated something like this:“Manger signs document to ensure review.” Well-meaning but often the signature was just a signature before the document was filed- nothing was reviewed. Hillary famously said at the Benghazi hearing- “that didn’t rise to my level”The bureaucracy has so many “failsafe’s” that when it does fail, nobody can be held responsible.2.)The judges probably don’t even read these things- they trust the before mentioned signature requirements that we now understand are meaningless.The judges don’t have to be part of a conspiracy, just a big bloated worthless bureaucratic wasted paper trail.Begin to point any of this out and the natural state of “big” is to circle the wagons and begin to deny and then to cover.Big media first instinct is to go along (especially the Democrat media outlets.)End
