Barron X's comment on Colorado Springs

  • 4 Comments
  • by: Grumpy Old Fart

I have been thinking about what Barron X mentioned in yesterday’s post on Springs Budget Cuts make CNNs Broken Government.  “To see folks living their commitment to smaller, less intrusive government…”

As a researcher, I believe what he says has some merit.  Scientists learn by trying out an idea, and then see what happens. Letting Colorado Springs experiment with a minimized local government could be a great learning tool for all of us.

It would not hurt the rest of the State too much to let the Springs experiment with this concept.  Let’s give them 10 years and see what happens.  Either they will have found a way to create their own utopia, or they will become a miniature Haiti.  

And we will have learned from their endeavors.

      1. If/when we end our land wars in Asia, the military budget will shrink. When that happens, recession will hit COS, potentially much harder than this one. If you want a case study, look at Southern CA post-Reagan.

        Then, COS will blame the federal government for all their woes.

        Luckily for them, the current recession is likely to end before the the current wars.  

  1. To do a true scientific experiment would be great.  Of course it will be very difficult due the problematic issue that many of the Spring’s more celebrated leaders do not believe in science or the scientific method.
