"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005
Hello economists - Mitt Romney already called this crisis
I really couldn't help but laugh at this article title that I read on MSNBC:
Economists point to rising debt as next crisis
The AP makes it sound like this is some brand new crisis rearing its ugly head on the horizon. I find it interesting that this issue was addressed by Mitt Romney during his presidential run in 2008. And I am not the only one that noticed how the top issues today are ones that Mitt Romney could address:
The Wall Street Journal has an article titled Romney Emerges as Top Issues Play to His Strengths. I thought this part of the article was most interesting.

And I am not the only one that noticed how the top issues today are ones that Mitt Romney could address:
- Hitting budget,s
- Decreasing debt,
- Aligning healthcare incentives to focus on preventive care,
- Turning the nation around economically.

And beyond the economy, what are the other big items on the agenda? Well, one is the auto industry, which happens to play nicely to the Romney background as a Michigander and son of an auto-company executive. The other is health care, which tees up Mr. Romney to talk about the health overhaul he led in Massachusetts while that state's governor. All this leads, inevitably enough, to talk of Mr. Romney already emerging as a leading contender for the party's next presidential nomination. Of course, talking about the 2012 presidential race at the midpoint of 2009 is silliness on stilts. Mr. Romney says he doesn't know whether he will run, which is the only sensible thing to say.I think Mitt Romney could address these issues. Confidence in Romney in 2012.
