In today’s world, trust is an essential component of a successful democracy. From constitutional laws to everyday transactions, our society relies on trust to function effectively. However, throughout history, the relationship between governments and citizens has been plagued by examples of tyranny, incompetence, and disregard for the wellbeing of everyday people.
Recent statistics on faith in federal officials reflect this disconnect, with only 19% of Americans believing that officials will act in the best interest of citizens most of the time. The issue is further compounded by irresponsible mismanagement of public funds, resulting in over $2.4 trillion wasted in the past 20 years alone.
Moreover, unnecessary bureaucracy and regulation hamper growth and development in various industries, leading to delays, red tape, and missed opportunities for progress. For example, Dodd-Frank, a financial services law, resulted in an astonishing 30,000 new regulatory restrictions for businesses, far more than any other law passed during the Obama administration.
As our nation grapples with soaring debt and profligate spending, we need leaders who are willing to champion substantive and courageous reforms to reduce the size and scope of government. We must rethink and reform our policies and bureaucracies to make America competitive and efficient, and to secure fiscal stability for future generations.
Ultimately, the success of our democracy rests on the input and oversight of us all. We must demand efficient and effective government from those charged with overseeing our fiscal affairs. As citizens, we have a responsibility to reject the notion that government should remain untouchable and to demand positive outcomes. With the right approach and commitment, we can ensure government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
