Pennsylvania has reached a crossroads. On one hand we can choose to continue on a path of expanding government control of our daily lives. This path offers security from risks of poor health, unemployment, and other maladies that are part of the human condition. Unfortunately this security is a mirage. When the politician promises a constituent freedom from hunger, cold, lack of employment etc., that promise comes at a cost. A cost that must be borne by someone. Those who bear that cost are often not considered by the politician or the person who receives the largess of the politician. Eventually though, those who pay for the politicians generosity must pay more and more until they have nothing left to give. I believe we are approaching that moment.
