Benson, Ezra Taft "The Proper Role of Government"


Several years ago while I was in college, I took a Political Science class. It was a beginning government class. Our professor made a statement that has impressed my mind deeply. He commented that once a program is in place, very seldom do political folks step back to see how it is working for if they did, they would often find themselves out of a job because in so many cases the program wasn't working.In The Proper Role of Government former Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson talks about how men seldom step back to review their choices except in the light of what is currently politically popular. I hope that you enjoy this thought provoking essay, especially in light of our current political climate and the up-coming elections.
