The Proper Role of Government

In this morning's Salt Lake Tribune it had an article about how Republican governers are attempting to get Republican members of the House to change their votes on the so called stimulus package.

This includes indiviudals whom conservatives are looking to for leadership and as possible presidential candidates.

I for one am disappointed in these governors. While I am glad House Republicans finally decided they believed in fiscal restraint, they should have shown it back in September when President Bush first proposed the bail out.

Below are links to one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard by Ezra Taft Benson on the proper role of government.

I would highly recomend that all Americans listen to these inspired words and consider the road we are going down.
