This Week in Government Failure

Over at Downsizing Government, we focused on the following issues this week:

• The Department of Homeland Security is a mismanaged mess.
• Federal aid to the states is too popular.
• It’s time to privatize the U.S. Postal Service Monopoly.
• Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood likes to give the gift of other people’s money. Ho, ho, oh no!
• Charles Krauthammer gets nostalgic about the socialist mail monopolist.

Our Government is simply doing too much at this point. They are grossly over-reaching on everything. Give me a "Do-Nothing Congress" over an Over-Reaching Congress anytime. I'm still waiting for just one brave politician to stand up and propose Legislation that would propose our Congress meet less often. Our Congress is just in session far too often in my opinion. The more they meet,the more damage they do to our nation. I really like how Texas does it. Their State Legislature meets for 90 Days a year every two months. They seem to be doing ok. In fact more States should follow their lead on that. Congress-Fatigue is at it's highest level i can remember. It's gotten so bad that most Americans are now begging them to hurry up and go on Recess. Less Government is the answer.

I would love to have one politician with the balls to say, when asked about a problem:
"Ya know, X is a serious problem But gov't cannot solve X. If we try we will only make things worse. There are plenty of ways the private sector and non-profits can address X and they will do so far more efficiently and effectively than gov't can. Thank you."

I'd vote for that man forever.

There are lots of politicians who say that. So you vote Republican? You're an idiot.

Please show me one.

And I assume you are agreeing with me at this point that Lopez bars the Federal gov't from intruding on educational issues.

A variation of this has been going on recently in NJ as new governor Christie has been telling the legislature and citizens they've got huge, unsustainable X, Y, Z, and other homegrown problems that are strangling their state and must be corrected.

Don't know if anyone's listening to him but he's definitely telling it like it is.

You can't answer the question and I'm the idiot. Yeah. Right.

lol


I thought jews were supposed to be smart?

I can answer the question. You can't. Which oen of us is smarter?

 

[☭proletarian☭]

Which oen of us is smarter?

 

[The Rabbi]

Which oen of us is smarter?

And you were pwned on the thread where I showed that Lopez limited the fed gov'ts ability to dictate policy.
You really are ill-informed. You know that, right?

 

[☭proletarian☭]

You say you'll vote Republican for life (the promise exactly what you want them to promise) with no regard to what they actually do and you're trying to insult my intelligence?

I would love to have many politicians with the balls to do, when asked about a problem "Ya know, X is a serious problem But gov't cannot solve X. If we try we will only make things worse. There are plenty of ways the private sector and non-profits can address X and they will do so far more efficiently and effectively than gov't can."

Right. I think that's what we meant, but i digress.

Good point on Christie. That dude seems to be pretty hardcore when it comes to fiscal responsibility.

Please show me where I said anything like that.
This will probably end up like the Lopez thread. You making wild assertions you can't possibly defend and then insulting people when they point that out.
You are way in over your head here.

And the typically illiterate anti-Semite can't understand a simple post. What a shocker that.

Its not so much that government is overreaching its more like people are trying to make it do something it wasn't meant to do and that is to provide for people. Government is meant to be a stop on our behaviour and its function is to control and nothing more. To make do anything other than that is like expecting a bus to be a jetliner.
