I know the headline does not really narrow the field much. President Obama has announced plenty of dumb ideas.
I want to focus on just one from the State of the Union address. The President announced an idea encourage more people to work for the government by forgiving their student loans if they go into government service.
What?!?! That is a truly horrible idea.
The last thing this country needs is more government workers.
No.
What we need are more people that actually produce useful goods and services. We need more entrepreneurs. We need more inventors. We need more manufacturers. We need more marketers of these goods we need Americans to produce. We need more people to ship these greater goods.
What we do NOT need is more government.
