Why do conservatives think reducing government would fix our nation's problems?

How would reducing government fix our crumbling infrastructure system that ranks one of the worst in the developed world?

How would reducing government lower medical costs such as prescription drug costs?

How would reducing government raise wages in the lower classes and keep all income gains from going to the top earners?

How would reducing government fix our public school system which for decades is one of the worst in the developed world?

How would reducing government keep environmental crises like Flint crisis from happening elsewhere?

How would reducing government stop Wall Street corruption?

How would reducing government fix our crumbling infrastructure system that ranks one of the worst in the developed world? Beyond the economic toll this has on our country, scientists warn that natural disasters could severely cripple our unstable power grid.

It's simple: government has caused all our nation's problems that are humanly solvable. Solution: get rid of the problem.

 

[Davros]

Because the debt is an even bigger problem than most of those. The debt can cause the government and economy to collapse. Remember when our credit rating was reduced? That was just a warning that the US government is not too big to fail, and that if we don't get serious about this debt, very bad things are coming.

Our credit rating dropped because a few republicans sabotaged the government and had it shut down.

That move ironically increased the debt .

It won't...

Everything will just go to hell and big corporations will take over the entire market place with a iron fist. More poor people, less quality of life and shitty infrastructure. Sucks.

No, it's actually 100% correct. If you look at any of the problems this country has, at bottom the government is the cause. Just take the price of new drugs, for instance. It costs about $5 billion to bring a new drug to market. The FDA is almost entirely the cause of this incomprehensible expense. Get rid of the FDA and the price of developing new drugs would drop to something like $1 million.

Government creates monopolies, not the free market.

Oh that's a fantastic idea. Let's get rid of any oversight on the drugs being produced. Let's let any drug companies put in any ingredients they like and we'll just ignore any harmful side effects.

It's amazing you don't think these things through.

 

[Anathema]

There are NOT Government problems. The Government has no legitimate place being involved in these issues, with the exception of Federal Postal Roads. Reducing the Federal Government, by getting the Federal Government out of these issues allows for a massive reduction in Federal taxes, a refocusing towards LOCAL Government and LOCAL solutions.

No if we got rid of all the tax loopholes and stopped rich people from taking advantage of cash havens, we would have a lot more revenue to spend.

I never singled out the federal government. Of course federal programs like Medicaid and Medicare obviously matter.

If drug companies sell dangerous drugs, they get sued for billions of dollars. The FDA is counter productive since it lets them get away with selling drugs that harm people.
