This about the allocation of resources and the structure and distribution of power. It is much, much bigger than big government vs. small government, or private sector vs. public sector. It’s a sociopolitical force that affects far more than just “American” governance, and it will affect far more than whether or not taxpayers are “saving money” or if union workers get their pensions, etc. We are being led down a path that has been well-traveled, and those who study history already know how this will end if we allow it to continue. I urge everyone to do more research and please try to see the bigger picture.
