Surely you are mistaken. Right here on C-D we have it on excellent authority that the "government" successfully orchestrated a massive conspiracy to murder four Americans in Benghazi, and successfully keep it hidden from hordes of international media, the Senate Intelligence Committee and Darrell Issa!
Do you think government (federal, state, local) creates problems in order to pretend to "solve" them (by creating new bureaucracies, infringing on Constitutional rights, etc.)? If so, please give examples.
Absolutely, although I'm not certain government creates problems in order to solve them. Instead, government is the problem .... and, as most of us have noticed, they solve nothing!
In their inability to get beyond polarized inefficiency, politicians tend to ignore the real problems (economy, unemployment, deficit spending, immigration, waste, fraud and abuse). Whenever these issues are raised, politicians simply direct our attention to the pretense of 'solving' things like 'global warming,' environmental studies/research', political 'red herrings.'
The public cooperates in this charade by refusing engage in actual critical thinking, or to remember any major issue or scandal for more than about ten minutes.
Yes. Even here in Texas, I see voter id laws, the merry christmas bill and the recent requirements for ER proximity to abortion clinics as solutions in search of a problem.
I think the government more uses uncontrollable events as justification/cover to further push governments true agenda, to increase the power of government. Both parties do this and the American people just do not care anymore.
Absolutely. Remember this; the US government corporation is made up of the same people who killed the Aboriginal Americans and Native Americans and are still doing it today. Europeans gave coats to the Aboriginals and those Europeans knew that those coats contained smallpox in which the Aboriginals had no immunity to. Many died from pox. There are several more examples but time would fail me to speak of it.
My honest answer is that I'm not sure...probably incompetence most of the time, but likely a few where it's intentional. If it is an accident, it's very convenient for them.
It's just crazy...poverty was actually going down until the government stepped in with programs and the "war on poverty", and now they've created this permanent underclass that's dependent on them and demands that the programs keep going.
The war on drugs is another that's done the opposite of it's stated purpose, and I really do think they knew what they were doing on that one. It's great for revenue and justifies a lot more hiring and funding law enforcement...gives them more power to work with too.
Murderous psychopaths committing awful acts against their fellow citizens. Then these same nuts get a plea-bargain, and are out in a couple of years.......THAT is by design, and done to make the filthy and corrupt Government even more powerful.
You don't think Governments are power-hungry and will do almost anything to gain more and MOARE power........................LMFAO at you.
