Ed Martin Op-Ed: Will 'American Dream' Become The American Burden?

Ed Martin, candidate for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, penned a great op-ed in the Kansas City Citizen this past Sunday. Please take a look at the entire column, but there are two sections we wanted to highlight:

"The fed­eral gov­ern­ment should do what most fam­i­lies are doing: cut its bud­get — I sug­gest by 10 per­cent or more. Every depart­ment, at every level, should reduce their bud­get by this amount. This could espe­cially include cuts to agen­cies that have grown too big and intru­sive (e.g. EPA) and rolling back over­bear­ing regulations."

And

"Amer­ica is the great­est coun­try the world has known but it did not hap­pen by acci­dent and it won’t stay this way auto­mat­i­cally. The Amer­i­can Dream and the free­dom to suc­ceed make Amer­ica so special."
