US government worse than China's government

Unlike Boortz, I have no problem with Obama pointing out the Chinese do a better job at infrastructure building than the US. It's true. The anti-freedom aristocrats in Washington D.C. are worse than communists. They spend our money buying votes and building more power for themselves instead of building and maintaining our infrastructure. The communists are smart enough to develop all their energy resources, including drilling off the Florida coast. But the aristocrats in Washington ban us from doing so. Because our government is so much worse than the communists, China is kicking our ass on the world stage. As is Russia.

Obama's solution in wrong though. China's government is better than ours because it's smaller. Our government is so much worse because it's bigger than the entire Chinese economy. The solution, or course, is to re-embrace freedom and severely limited government and recapture the prosperity that flows from those things. But don't attack the messenger for pointing out our government is worse than communist China's government right now.

I'm sure lots of people would say that the Chinese don't have political freedom. But in our system we have only the appearance of political freedom. We re-elect the same representatives who are worse than the communists 94% of the time. And when it comes to choice, what's the difference between a big-government Democrat aristocrat and big-government Republican aristocrat?

To be fair, we do have political freedom. We don't have to vote for people who are worse for us than communists, we just do it every election anyway. We have nobody to blame but ourselves.
