“The change,” it’s not just for women anymore. It’s even more than the guy with the midlife crisis who’s exchanged a wife and family for a sports car and a handful of Viagra. Big government is going through the change. No longer young and innovative, Big Government has transitioned itself from a maturing to a declining organizational life stage. From mood swings to bloating “waste,” the change has made Big Government’s already top heavy structure sag from an overloaded deficit. The change has taken Washington by STORM in a TIDE-like czar-studded spectacle. If Big Government has its way, the change will continue to permeate throughout the rest of the country. Is “she the people” ready for another coercive change where there is no hormone therapy to relieve the political cramps and hot flashes? Fear not, part of the change with big government includes death panels cued to sing the “Circle of Life” when it thinks one is a dried up old prune whose life lacks any intrinsic value.
Can America endure this change in Big Government? No it cannot because the free market will not be able to sustain increased government takeovers as well as the continued devaluation of the dollar. Change is interdependent, modify something and it causes a ripple effect. In business, effective change management requires intricate planning and adequate time to complete the transition in stages. The best business models attempt to answer the question of how change will impact all of its stakeholders in both the long and short-term forecast. Government’s change strategy is to expand the organization by throwing more taxpayer money at it. This is both an ineffective and inefficient way to run an organization. It’s a federal chokehold, which attempts to put the free market before a death panel.
When Big Government imposes a change, it’s more of a game of chance than a business plan. The dominoes fall everywhere, and they never land in a predictable way. There always seems to be invisible extras padded somewhere in the bill of sale. This is a bait and switch game of 52-card pickup with a loaded deck. It’s messy, and nobody knows what’s in the cards until generations of taxpayers have covered the markers. Big government gambles like an addict, hoping for the hot hand to solve its problems. Similar to many other gamblers, Big Government is connected to some corrupt thugs that encapsulate a rogue’s gallery comparable to some of America’s most wanted felons. A few of these scoundrels even have mug shots.
Washington’s strategy lacks any rational thought. The perspective is immediate gratification, like the addict’s quick fix. Big Government is betting the house playing craps with borrowed money; sooner or later, it’s “snake eyes,” the game is over. Win, lose, or draw, Magic 8-ball has a better track record forecasting budgets than big government and the change it wants you to believe in.
