All concentrations of power are bad

I love this ... http://angry-economist.russnelson.com/concentrations-of-power.html ... I am so tired of so many people trying to give more and more power to the federal government. I am tired of listening to liberals (I mean not to offend) screaming that the government has a responsibility to take care of us (are we really that unable?) and asking for more federal programs, federal funding and federal regulation.

The main result of liberal desires is, in my opinion, a more socialist type government and we know, we have many examples, that socialism doesn't work well.

If the author of this blog I'm referencing is correct that George Bush is attempting to reduce the power of the Federal Government and restoring it to its original purpose then ... GO BUSH!!

-1 on Jane's post for a poorly formatted link.

One of the big messages of economics is that decentralized decision making works a lot more than people think it does, and that centralized decision making doesn't work as well as people think it does.

However, I'm not sure that you can absolutely attach centralized decision making to socialism. The latter is kind of caught up in the European style centralization of government that occurred over the last few centuries (for good or bad).
