Here is our new life guard, Grover Norquist.
The nare do well Grover Norquist has mention he would like to shrink the size of the US Government to a size that could be drowned in a bathtub. Thus eliminating the entire American government. No military. No air traffic control or aircraft inspection. No White House. No bridge repair when bridges collapse. No regulation of broadcasting including what might appear to be offensive to some listeners or viewers. No head start programs. No Medicare. No Social Security. No Coast Guard to protect our shores. No Border Patrol to protect us from drug smugglers. No advanced warning systems to advise of unfriendly incoming aircraft or missiles. No national weather service to forecast inclement weather or hurricanes. No environmental protection. No safety standards for trucks and cars. No money for public schools. No money for police or fire safety personnel. No college education loans. Unemployment would press near fifty percent. And the list would go on and on.
Basically reducing our beloved America to a third world country like Haiti or Somalia. Both of which exist in a very corrupt political system. A system, which favors the very rich and disdains the poor. They have no middle class. We would be either very poor or very rich. And, if you are very rich, you better have a well-paid large army to protect your interest.
Our basic infrastructure would eventually crumble. Clean safe drinking water would become a thing of the past. You would have to collect rainwater for drinking. Our sewer system would stop up and we would have to resort to doing our business in an outhouse. Public health would decline. Life expectancy would drastically fall. Disease and epidemics would be the normal.
All of this and more would be true if Grover Norquist has his way. You can’t separate the government from America. It is one in the same. Drown the government and you drown America. Is this what we want? Tell old Grover to
