Last week in my travels I ran into a lot of friends in for the holiday's. It was good to see old friends, but at the same time it was kind of sad. The reason I only see these old friends on the holidays is because they had to leave the area for work.
Driving last week I saw a lot of out of state tags. For the most part those tags tell the story of West Virginia's economy. Each one of those tags represent the failure of the states economy to provide for our own. Since 1950 the West Virgina population has dropped from 1.3% of the US population to 0.6%. That represents the state being cut in half.
For over 60 years the state has been making the wrong economic decisions. It is time for a change. We can no longer afford to make the same choices. We need to get away from government intervention in the economy and more to the free market. How bad does it have to get before we make the necessary changes?
