Big Government Always Fails

Big Government Will Help Me
This is a fallacy! If you think that relying on the government is the answer to solving YOUR problems, take a hard look at New York City as the perfect example of Big Government in action. Citizens are screaming that the Sanitation Union is NOT getting their job done clearing the roads. New York streets are still impassable four days after the blizzard.

Citizens may have a valid point. There have been accusations that the Sanitation Union is slowing down and milking the overtime. Recall Rahm Emanual's remarks that "you can't pass up a good crisis." (In other words - use this emergency as an excuse to get more paid overtime at the expense of the people). Since it is next to impossible to fire a union employee, there may be some truth to the rumor. One thing for sure, the response to the snowfall was totally inadequate. Another thing is that it proves that the government was NOT capable of dealing with this problem in a timely manner.

People Are Dying
"Dial 911 and DIE" by Richard W. Stevens is a must read book because it describes why you cannot rely on the government to save you in times of disaster. Unfortunately people in New York are finding this out the hard way. Here are a few examples:
  • Side roads remain unplowed causing traffic jams of horrendous proportions.

  • NYC subway lines are still inoperative and remain suspended making commuters unable to get into/out of the city.

  • Major airports (although cleared), are running behind with hundreds of passengers waiting for service that they may now be leaving the City until NEXT YEAR!

  • A newborn baby died after the parents called 911 and waited 9 hours before the city responded to their emergency.

  • A woman living in Brooklyn waited over 30 hours after calling an ambulance before it arrived.

  • There are few publicized stories about the Police Department responses, but you can bet they aren't good either.

Meanwhile the government officials are making a plethora of excuses ranging from "There were too many people on the streets..." to blaming their poor response on "Mother Nature." How lame is that?

The shocking truth is that Big Government cannot take care of you - ESPECIALLY in an emergency. YOU have to be prepared to step forward and be responsible for yourself and your family! If not, you could die waiting for the government!

Action To Take
Get educated quickly. Learn how to face Armageddon by yourself. Attend a Survival Seminar. If you were a Tea Party Member or joined the 911 Project, you would already have had this training available! Get a book on survival. Learn about food storage. Don't just be the victim when the SHXT hits the fan!
