In government, too often inefficient and ineffective programs just get bigger and more intrusive. Why wouldn’t they? Careers and salaries don’t hinge on programs being successful or efficient. Sometimes there are almost no systems in place to indicate whether a program is working.Let’s face it, the government just isn’t very good at doing many, if not most, things. As P.J. O’Rourke once famously said, giving the government more money is like giving 16-year-old boys whiskey and car keys.Exactly! Government can't do anything very effectively at all. Too much bureaucracy, red tape etc. Government no matter what level couldn't organize a two car funeral efficiently if you let them.
Programs always run over budget, you get fifty different bureaucrats working on the same file at the same time that each one doesn't know what the other is doing. So much redundancy. They want information from us they actually don't need and when you contact them, they keep giving you the run around.
They try and tell you how to conduct your life. Parents don't need to told how to raise their children. We don't need to be told what we should eat, or to get in the shade, put on our sun screen and drink plenty of fluid when it's hot out. Stuff like that is just common sense. We don't need government to tell us what to do. Government doesn't trust you to do what is best for you and your family or your business. They treat you and I like we're stupid! We are not children!
Who pays for all that nonsense? You got it! We do, the taxpayer! It's time we came against our governments who impose all this control on us. We have to restore common sense at all levels of government again. It's up to us. We have allowed them to get away with this kind of business for far too long.
Government, at all levels, LEAVE US ALONE! Take off the shackles and encourage personal responsibility. Allow private business to do what business knows best, to conduct business. Free private individuals to create and innovate and they in turn are betters abled to freely contribute to society, to help those that need the help. A freer people, will translate into a free, happy and prosperous nation.
