Mongoose Method

Let's reflect on a classic Simpsons episode where the people are so happy that a new lizard was introduced into their environment because it eats pigeons. After a while they are overrun with lizards, so they control that by introducing chineese needle snakes. To fix the snake problem they introduce gorillas. This is exactly the way the democratic party thinks. When ever there is anything in our system that has flaws in any way they try to control it. They create new legislations that create worse problems, but if they had fewer laws it would eliminate half of the problems. Some real life examples are the health care system, where health care is too expensive for the poor, so they create taxes for all so they can afford it but if there weren't so many federal regulations and laws, it would be more expensive. Obama calls for universal health care for this very reason, but he is personally, as well as other senators supporting these mandates responsible for the high cost in the first place. Hillary has the commercial where she tells the story of the man who's company laid off workers and now he is jobless, and she says that something needs to be done about this. Well, Hillary has been such a huge supporter of raising the minimum wages time and time again. Each time they acheive these raises, companies raise the pay but compensate by giving those employees more work, and laying some people off. Company officers do owe it to their stock holders to make a profit for them after all. Hillary is right that it's sad when people lose their jobs, but she created this problem, and it's not the government's place to try to fix it. The truth is that there is no perfect solution to our national problems. If you help one person it will hurt another. If the government would get out of our way and stop making unnecessary laws it would hurt some people who rely on the government for everything, but it would do far more good than trying to control everything by creating more problems. I wish the legislators would try the famous prayer that goes "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
