Government is mostly corrupt and it is getting more so every election and at this point, its almost encouraged. Once you have the attitude that the people are either too stupid to know better or so ignorant they don't even care, you become an enemy of the people and a free democracy.
The government doesn't build, make or provide anything. It simply directs and redistributes resources of what the people have, make and provide. To a point that's fine, but the larger government gets, the more it wants to do, and the less we're able to support it. We're at a tipping point now where governments have to scale back, state, local, federal or face insolvency. That means cutting government jobs, cutting programs. Cutting spending across the board. Major corporations have discovered this and are already doing it, the government has to also.
To do otherwise is reckless, careless and alarmingly short sighted.
Local charities and organizations can help pick up the slack and do it more effectively anyway.
Lol....the government is the American people...or at least that's what they would have us believe....If you think being allowed to continue to operate even with failure after failure is the right thing to do then someone trying to explain to you how government is a failure is futile.
why dont you explain it to all of us and provide a suggestion of how it should be done (that is realistic)...

umm, what about rockets? military? police? roads? schools? libraries?
and for those of you that seem to hate govt so much, you do realize there is no place on earth you can go to escape some sort of govt?
how about this one then, goverment is always a show of force, very rarely a benefit to anyone and almost always a bane to everyone.
Oh, I liked the government's show of force plenty when the 101st Airborne walked nine black children into Central High School.
I liked it even more when the Federal government nationalized the Alabama National Guard to move George Wallace out of the doorway of the University of Alabama.
And I damed sure liked the US governments show of force to make sure that black voters could go to the polls and exercise their rights as citizens.
There is a lot to like about the coercive nature of government.
I guess if you ignore the fact that government is why those were ever needed in the first place....
In part, but the government didn't start slavery and it was getting "Big Government" out of the states hair that led to the end of reconstruction and the establishment of Jim Crow.
