Government solutions are usually worse than doing nothing.

We see this with Obama care, government student loans, and the like. You would destroy our government with side programs (that distract from or directly undermine primary government duties like defense and justice) that sound nice but which end up making conditions worse for people ... all in the apparent hope that a socialistic revolution comes, in which case things will get even worse.

Note that the government created the situation in which people had to have full time jobs for health benefits by making it cheaper for companies to provide it...another problem created by government to solve a problem, which does not solve the problem and therefore requires another government solution. The same thing is happening with Obamacare. You offered a non-solution, criticized the Right for not doing so...and here we go again, another non-solution proposed by you, and you criticize the Right for not doing something. Meanwhile, you achieve only 2 things: You worsen the problem you say you are trying to solve, and you put more and more of the economy under the control of, or subject to the direct funding of, the government. The only proven result you have is growing a monstrous and inefficient government.


Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
