【正文】 嗎？我們希望大量美國(guó)人依靠來(lái)自聯(lián)邦政府的支票過(guò)活嗎？最終，這些權(quán)益支出的水平都是不可調(diào)整的。所以最好是現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始理性的改變，不然就會(huì)在未來(lái)幾年內(nèi)陷入恐慌。本手冊(cè)第12章到第17章討論了醫(yī)療和社保改革。忠于尊重公民自由和有限政府的建國(guó)原則在年景好的時(shí)候很容易。當(dāng)我們?cè)馐芡庥袛橙藖?lái)襲、內(nèi)有經(jīng)濟(jì)動(dòng)蕩的雙重打擊的時(shí)候，當(dāng)公眾陷入無(wú)比焦慮、使得把這些原則放在一邊看起來(lái)也無(wú)傷大雅的時(shí)候，才是我們信念經(jīng)受真正考驗(yàn)的時(shí)候。用憲法限制聯(lián)邦政府權(quán)力、政府機(jī)關(guān)彼此之間必須相互制衡的原則必須一絲不茍地嚴(yán)格遵從。在那些出現(xiàn)了最有力的誘惑，使人們傾向于輕視它們的時(shí)刻，這些原則的重要性恰恰是最高的。對(duì)那些進(jìn)入政府部門試圖改善其他公民生活的人來(lái)說(shuō)，最難以接受的一個(gè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)可能是國(guó)會(huì)對(duì)許多問(wèn)題應(yīng)該不去做做任何事——諸如教育問(wèn)題、犯罪問(wèn)題、處方藥定價(jià)問(wèn)題等。反對(duì)者會(huì)批評(píng)說(shuō)：“你真的希望在問(wèn)題持續(xù)存在的時(shí)候政府站在一邊袖手旁觀嗎？”是的，許多時(shí)候這正是國(guó)會(huì)應(yīng)該做的。請(qǐng)牢記醫(yī)生們繼承的古老智慧：首先不要害人。要對(duì)自由的人們有信心，只要讓他們盡展所長(zhǎng)，他們?cè)谡苇h(huán)境之外就能把自己關(guān)心的問(wèn)題給解決了，而且更有效。建議閱讀書(shū)目：Bastiat, Fr233。d233。ric.
