Conservative candidates need to establish the issue of
populist priorities in their campaigns. These should be based on what all
voters need to be self-supporting on a daily basis, not what some voters and
special interest groups want.
Utilization needs to be recognized to establish these basic
needs. Politicians need to recognize that their highest priorities should be
where utilization is close to 100%. All voters and families need clean water,
sanitation, waste disposal, food, shelter and basic infrastructure.
Government functions like a utility for roads, highways,
bridges, reservoirs, storm water sewers, flood abatement, sanitary sewers,
water treatment and water distribution.
Government’s first responsibility is to ensure that this
basic infrastructure is functioning and maintained to avoid failure, before
spending tax revenue on anything else. Most State, County and City governments
fail to do this.
Government is also responsible for oversight of private
utilities that provide electricity and natural gas for heating and cooling to
ensure that prices are as low as possible.
