Stossel on Jefferson

I'm a pessimist. I fear Thomas Jefferson was right when he said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground." That's what's happened. Bush and Obama doubled spending and increased regulation. Government's intrusiveness is always more, never less. The state grows, and freedom declines.

The natural progress of things was what the constitution was designed to prevent - but it failed. 

Stossel's always good for the libertarian perspective.
