THERE IS NO NEW FRONTIER

Peggy Noonan on recessions, bailouts, healthcare, etc.: “Now the national terrain is thick with federal programs, and with state, county, city and town entities and programs, from coast to coast. It's not virgin territory anymore, it's crowded. We are a nation fully settled by government. We are well into the age of the welfare state, the age of government. We know its weight, heft and demands, know its costs both in terms of money and autonomy ....”

Bottom line: government has grown too big, too invasive, too controlling.
