Who's influence has grown more Russia, China and North Korea, or the US, and Western Europe in this administration? In the last forty years we have changed the definition of a good economy from wealth of a nation to the wealth of those in an "investing class" and that doesn't include 401K investors. Look at the quote from presidents lawyer, Bill Barr, from his address at Hillsdale College, who are the robber barons he is referring to? Why is he equating "moral people with righteous motivations" to busy bodies. Moral and righteous isn't that what conservative like to call themselves?
Quote:This
risk is inevitable and cannot be avoided simply by — as we certainly
strive to do — hiring as prosecutors only moral people with righteous
motivations. I am reminded of a passage by C.S. Lewis:“It
may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral
busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity
may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own
good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of
their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the
same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.”Even
the most well-meaning people can do great damage if they lose
perspective. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they
say.
