The 10 most chilling words in English

By Jerry Bellune,

Darrell Hudson is a rare individual. As an elected official he believes in term limits.

It takes one term to figure out what’s really going on and a second to do something constructive about it.

Darrell is a business owner as well as elected official, He knows that the way business works is you identify challenges and opportunities and take care of them.

The way government works, Darrell says, is like dealing with a leaky boat. If you had a hole in your boat, you plug it until you can get it ashore and repair it.

In government, it doesn’t work like that.

First you need an assessment. How big is the hole? What caused it? What kind of water is coming into the boat? How fast or how slow is it coming in. What do at least three experts advise you to do?

By the time you get all of that, you’ve drowned and the boat is on the bottom.

As Ronald Reagan once observed, the 10 most chilling words in the English language are: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” No thanks.

Darrell has reached a point where he can take time away from his business for this.

Most of us can’t. But we can pay attention. We can see where government fails us. We can tell our elected officials we aren’t going to put up with it any more.
