We have to pay for our economic sins, and that is the grim lesson conveyed to oblivious, unconcerned by Mark Levin in Plunder and Deceit, Pages 18-19, where he lays out his protest to our deficit spending of 27.5 trillion dollars, will eventually destroy our country for us, our children and grandchildren, but no one is doing anything about it, a most selfish and irresponsible approach: "The laws of economics, like the laws of science, are real, unlike the utopian images and empty assurances of expedient and self-aggrandizing politicians and bureaucrats. There is a point of irreversiblity from which no generation and the larger society can recover. Moreover, just as economic and political liberty are intertwined, spreading economic instability leads to political turmoil, and ultimately, societal disorder or collapse. In the interim, as this process unfolds, the dissolution of constitutional republicanism--including representative and consensual governance, dispersed authority among the federal branches and between federal and state governments, and the empowerment of a pervasive federal administrative state incessantly insinuating itself into the lives of the people--becomes regular and routine. The ensuing amalgamation of governmental control, and the escalating police powers discharged to coerce and subjugate the individual through multitudinous rules, regulations, taxes, fines and penalties, confounds and benumbs much of the citizenry. Furthermore, the designed societal transformation and decay of enlightened self-government are portrayed as compassionate, progressive and inevitable."
Note that Mark worries that intertwined economic and political liberty can be lost, replaced by tyranny and socialist poverty, wretchedness and despair. As Leviathan grows, our wealth, freedom and constitutional system is dying.
These Progressive aims are not progressive and compassionate, but are retrogressive and backed by malice, the desire to deprive citizens of their liberty, their power, their wealth. It is not inevitable if we wake up and fight back, which we likely will not do.
