It’s all over except the shouting. The primary election season effectively ended two nights ago. Now the actual shouting match between Hillary and The Donald begins.

This will surely be the most entertaining election in U.S. history. Probably the most pointless, too. After all, Hillary wants to use government to make Government Great Again. And Trump promises to use government to make America Great Again.

But government doesn’t make anything great, including itself. It is a necessary evil that always and everywhere is driven toward self-aggrandizement and mission creep by the politicians and special interest lobbies which control its operations.

What government actually does is thwart the capacity of the people like you to pursue your own vision of greatness. It encumbers your economic life with burdensome taxation, regulation, roadblocks to opportunity and monetary fraud. It saddles your public lives with endless Nanny State impositions and encroachments upon your personal liberty.

Most especially, the central state in its current incarnation as Imperial Washington sabotages national greatness. It doesn’t foster it. It saddles the economically listing American nation with a debilitating $800 billion national security apparatus that is wholly unnecessary.

That apparatus has long since morphed into a Warfare State leviathan. It pursues senseless and destructive foreign interventions that erode, not enhance, the safety and security of American communities. It impairs constitutional liberties at home under cover of exaggerated and often contrived threats of terrorism. And it breeds blowback and terrorism abroad wherever its drones, bombs, occupations and covert machinations intrude in matters that are none of our business.

But of course that is exactly what Hillary’s candidacy is all about. Namely, insinuating the American state even more deeply and destructively into matters which are none of its business, at home and abroad.
