A lengthy article focuses on the problems ahead. It appeared in the February American Spectator.

Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin. Henry Cabot Lodge
There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws. Ayn Rand
It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. Albert J. Nock
Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money Daniel Webster
The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop P.J. O'Rourke

Thomas Jefferson
