Is Your Town Next?

Perhaps already there?? The Harrisburg story is compelling, and I personally know of at least one crony capitalist (who eschews capitalism, imagine that) who completely and totally took advantage of this binge-happy mayor, and the State of PA. The list of companies who did business with this municipality (including software giant SAP) is stunning, and the binge spending astonishing in view of the fundamental ability of the municipality to generate revenue. As Ayn Rand’s character in Atlas Shrugged asked: “what are you counting on?” Folks, this is the ugly ugly real side of social mysticism. You typically see it on local school boards (such as Hudson), but it appears all too often across municipalities and counties.
On the heels of this we see Wisconsin’s own Paul Ryan telling it like it is.. on the Federal level.
