What’s at stake?

When federal government oversteps the enumerated powers, there are undesirable consequences because the government is not a good investment beyond its core responsibilities.

We gauge the size of government by the budget: the bigger the budget, the bigger the government.

Governments are inherently fiscally inefficient because there is no profit, no capital formation. When the government needs more money it simply prints more money which then leads to inflation and the dollar buys less.

Most important of all is your freedom. The size of government is inversely proportional to our freedom.

Let’s review the accomplishments of this president in his first year in office.
