Government is a funny thing. It is an organization that makes and enforces rules and regulations. The more rules and regulations it makes, the bigger it gets. It's a monster. Government is also a significant employer that doesn't seem to care much about being lean and profitable. Instead, it thrives on making itself even bigger and creating more things to control. But as the government starts to infringe on people's perceived personal space, people start to push back and that is the only force that resists this monster's thirst for power. Make no mistake, during these times when governments are held in check by their people, the monster's appetite for power and growth does not go away. It lurks in the background waiting for its opportunity to pounce. That opportunity comes when people are at their most vulnerable—in times of crisis. When things go south, people are willing to give up more of their freedoms in exchange for stability. Governments are more than happy to oblige. Just think about some of the crises in recent history and the government response to those events: The Terrorist attack of 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, Covid, and the Silicon Valley Bank failure. In each situation, the government found an opportunity to change the rules and obtain more control. This playbook isn't just a conspiracy theory. It's just how things work. Mainstream government figures will tell you the same as you'll find out in this week's episode of Wealth Formula Podcast. Listen Now!
