Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on double standards…

Conservatives find common ground in this Thomas Jefferson quote – “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”  Jefferson recognized our personal welfare rests most surely in our own hands, not in the cold grip of government.  Our government is free to set firm rules for us and yet give itself a pass.  Most federal agencies routinely fail budget and performance audits.  Per the Heritage Foundation, it’s been over 1,000 days since the Senate passed a budget.  Can you imagine operating a trillion dollar enterprise for 1,000 days without a budget?  Yet when normal citizens miss a tax payment,  are arrested for a federal violation, or upset Uncle Sam – look out.  The best way to measure a government too big for its britches is by its tendency to live better and less responsibly than those it governs…

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
