Slow Withdrawal

This article makes an important point about the dangers of attempting to slash Federal spending rather than slowly reversing it with an eye towards rebuilding the local associations that have been withered by the encroaching state. Namely, cutting too quickly will create political backlash that results in further expansion of the government to "remedy" the impact of the hasty slashing​.  Some withdrawals cannot be done cold turkey...

To those who would say we can't afford to wait and that slashing is better than nothing,  I say: I may not have a better idea immediately at hand, but that doesn't make the anvil strapped to your back a good parachute.
