I don’t know if you have ever heard the term, continuity of government, but it is what many politicians are most concerned with. When our government was founded, our founding fathers wanted a government that would preserve our freedoms and the constitution as it was written.

We were supposed to have basic protections and laws to allow free enterprise to flourish. They did not intend for the government to try to protect you from your own poor decisions or to try to regulate everything. They also did not intend for the government to indebt the people to pay for endless social programs and wars.

I would venture to guess from their actions, that most politicians today are not very concerned about preserving your freedoms. Their main concern appears to be how to keep themselves in power and to gain more power over your life.

When, (not if) the house of cards they have created starts to come crashing down, the governments reaction will not be to try to save your freedoms. Instead, they will do whatever it takes to preserve the continuity of government.

This means that they will keep themselves in power no matter how many citizens they have to sacrifice. If need be they will seize everything you own to keep things going.

Of course, this will all be done for the ‘common good’. After all, when times get tough, we will all have to share everything so everyone can be equal.

Now, I admit, we do need some government in order to have a stable and prosperous economy. However, we do not need the government we now are saddled with and we definitely do not need it at any cost.

I suspect the best case scenario we can expect when government does whatever it takes to preserve itself, will be something like what the former Soviet Union had. In any case, this will not end in a good way.
