Good news for 2012. . .

from economist Richard Rahn:

"The United States was designed by its founders to have a small and relatively weak central government, in which most of the government functions and power were supposed to be at the state and local level. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very explicit: 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.' The potential good news is that as a result of the presidential debates, more people are becoming aware of the 10th Amendment and are beginning to understand that if Congress and the courts stopped ignoring this amendment, the U.S. likely would have a smaller, more effective and more fiscally sound government."

Thanks, David
