I should have been the happiest of politicians. I was a respected U.S. senator from my habitation state of South Carolina. I had played a key role, through my political action committee, in bringing principled conservatives similar Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, and other new leaders to join me in the Senate. I was cheered when I addressed local and national rallies of the Tea Party, a dynamic new forcefulness in American politics. I was a frequent guest on television set and radio, and quoted in leading newspapers and journals. I had challenged the Washington establishment and forced it to make major concessions on supposedly untouchable practices like earmarks.
By standing for cardinal American ideas like express constitutional government and individual responsibleness, and against politics as usual, I had fabricated a difference in how Washington worked.
And nevertheless I was deeply frustrated by how little Washington had really inverse. We notwithstanding take an ever-expanding federal government and an e'er-mounting national debt—approaching $17 trillion as I write in mid-2013. As of 2013, the share of federal debt for every homo, woman, and child in America is $53,000.
And despite all the trillions of dollars owing from Washington, the of cial unemployment gure, as I write, hovers betwixt 7 and eight percent—and some Americans take dropped out of the labor strength altogether. The existent wages of the average American worker have not risen in thirty years. And we have a permanent underclass dependent upon government for everything from their food to their housing.
No thing how hard other conservatives in Congress and I tried to stop it, the federal authorities kept metastasizing, invading every aspect of the life of every American.
I started to wonder what kind of futurity my 4 grown children and 4 grandchildren face. At that place was a time when many of us believed that the American dream would suffer forever because America was too big to fail. But the warning signs cannot be ignored. Economic weakness and cultural decay are all around us. I fear that many institutions in America, and especially govern- ment, may accept gotten also big to succeed.
