It how you grow a government, if it was a free society the government would shrink and the responsibility would on the individual(s)

Small governments can’t dole out favors or corruption because they lack the resources to do it.

No unelected positions like the fcc and epa, education department, etc. Too much power. The states can handle It. We need to go back to 50 countries, with a union and small federal government for military and dispute of states rights.

When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated. Everyone will then direct his efforts toward contributing little to, and taking much from, the common fund of sacrifices. Now, is it the most unfortunate who gains from this struggle? Certainly not, but rather the most influential and calculating. -- Frédéric Bastiat

Bastiat is awesome. Everyone here should read "The Law".

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. -- Frédéric Bastiat

Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism. -- Frédéric Bastiat

Government will break your legs and expect you to be thankful for giving you a crutch. It's how they operate. If they ever solved a problem, the budget goes away. The money is in creating problems, not solving them. It's a scam. The whole damn system is a con.

Communists always are. President Trump is the only one who cares.

They're worried about getting donations and keeping power. Whether or not that creates problems is irrelevant to them.

No. That's what government inevitably does

That’s normal. Create problems/chaos - increase size and scope of government (decreasing liberty) to “fix” problem using trillions of our hard earned dollars, while somehow becoming millionaires in the process. Kind of like manufacturing a fake invoice to launder money.

The Bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding Bureaucracy as they create problems for the purpose of solving the problems they have created.
