The biggest problem we've had is convincing people who are in office that they're spending too much in Washington.
We have extended ourselves too far around the world. We have gotten in wars that are unconstitutional.
The greatest danger when we accept the notion that the government is supposed to take care of us from cradle to grave and we're supposed to be the policemen of the world is that ultimately it's down at the expense of personal liberty.
I think we can get out of our mess by having people really read the Constitution and obey it.
