No Government Answer

"Much of what government does is based on the premise that people can't do things for themselves. So government must do it for them. More often than not, the result is a ham-handed, bumbling, one-size-fits-all approach that leaves the intended beneficiaries worse off. Of course, this resulting failure is never blamed on the political approach -- on the contrary, failure is taken to mean the government solution was not extravagant enough." This is the government (liberal) answer to EVERYTHING. If it works (which it never does), it’s because the government “took care of it.” If it doesn’t, they didn’t rape you enough. That’s “standard operating procedure” in government. (John Stossel)
