Obama's False Alternative

Obama apparently thinks that the only alternative to omni-intrusive, ever-expanding government is some sort of 'rugged individualism' according to which each individual pulls himself up by his own pony-tail in the manner of the celebrated Baron von Muenchhausen.  Bullshit. False alternative.  That he would push this false alternative is a good illustration of Obama's mendacity.  There is a way to avoid the extremes:  subsidiarity.
