I would do anything
To hold onto you
Just about anything
Until you pull through
--Ric Ocasek
Since the earliest posts on this blog, we have been considering the trade off between freedom and safety, and why we have been ceding liberty for more dependence on govt for physical and social security.
Judge N speaks much more eloquently than I on the topic.
As he notes, government has now created dependency that it can no longer afford.
It is easy to be fearful of this situation. But fear is government's best friend.
To make it to the other side, we'll need to master our emotions.

Practically all the governments whose origins are historically established were the result of conquest—of one tribe by another, one city by another, one people by another.
~Henry Hazlitt
Were we ever to stop being afraid of the government itself and to cast off the phoney fears it has fostered, the government would shrivel and die, and the host would disappear for the tens of millions of parasites in the United States—not to speak of the vast number of others in the rest of the world--who now feed directly and indirectly off the public's wealth and energies. On that glorious day, everyone who had been living at public expense would have to get an honest job, and the rest of us, recognizing government as the false god it has always been, could set about assuaging our remaining fears in more productive and morally defensible ways.
~Robert Higgs
