The Review
Monster on the Loose!
Govzilla: How the Relentless Growth of Government Is Devouring Our Economy — And Our Freedom, by Stephen Moore, (foreword by Senator Rand Paul), Post Hill Press: New York, 2021, 182 pages, paperback.
Originally a fictional creature in an eponymous Japanese movie, Godzilla (Gojira in Japan) is an enormous and destructive sea monster supposedly awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. Govzilla, on the other hand, describes a different menacing entity: the gigantic U.S. government. This threat has become devastating, spreading by consuming prodigious amounts of tax dollars. It is all too real.
In his foreword to Govzilla, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul credits author Stephen Moore with zeroing in on the “exponential growth of government and urgency of rising up to defend limited, constitutional government.” While the Biden administration does get plenty of, and deserved, lambasting, it is not alone in this regard. Both Republicans and Democrats get taken to task in the book.
