  • A government run by Republicans is a problem...to everyone.
  • political hooha deregulation is when wide boys and liars grow wealthy
  • It's true to some extent but it's an over-generalization. We just learned during the Bush administration that the free enterprise system cannot fix all our problems. If you don't have a government watchdog, there can be dire consequences.
  • A government which think's that it's own citizens are not capable of deciding how best to live their own lives is a problem. A government which thinks that people cannot possibly be trusted to make their own decisions (Healthcare, Schools) is a government which has it's priorities skewed. Ronald Regan was anti big government and wanted to minimize it's impact on our lives, we are going the opposite way of that now.
  • Yes, and it's gonna get worse these next 4 years
  • Not really, Government does provide things like schools police, and hospitals, so I cant say its a problem. I will say that some aspects of government need to be revamped, so the public can get the maximum from it, without hassle.
  • Yes. I believe with Thomas Jefferson ( or Henry David Thoreau, depending on who you beliveve ), "That government is best which governs least." Government can create nothing; all it can do is tax those who do, then use the tax money to enact programs which will keep the politicians in office. The more laws we have, the less free we are. Income tax is an abomination. Government tends to expand to the limit of its funding, whether such expansion is warranted or not.
  • Without a doubt government is the problem. They are responsible for the meltdown of the economy, handing out bailouts, our crappy school systems, we still have homeless people, wars we shouldn't be fighting, excessive spending, etc. Government has gotten to big and full of bureaucracies. They have lost touch with the people they are supposed to be working for. If you don't have a multi million dollar company and have lobbyists looking out for your best interests you get screwed.
  • I think government SHOULD be the solution. That's their only reason for existence - to solve problems. Sadly, governments everywhere seem to cause more problems than they solve mainly because politicians are generally corrupt and more interested in feathering their own nests than serving the people/ country. Money has become the deciding factor in too many issues. The rich win their court cases so justice has been comprimised. The rich win elections so democracy has been compromised...and so on. Capitalists wielding the power of money have too much power over governments and therefore our democracies are flawed.
  • It is very true. We need the government out of our lives.
  • 100% correct. In a free market society government is a liability. Government does not generate revnue, sales do. Government reduces the revenue from sales by taking a percentage of that revenue in taxes. Government does not add value to the product, investment does. Reductions in revenue caused by taxation reduce the funds available for research and development and that inhibits the value of the product. Government does not provide products or services.
  • Sorry, can't resist this. Governmentium. The Heaviest Element Known to Science Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
  • Yes, absolutely true. Perfect evidence is the situation we are in today, caused 99% by government intervention into the private sector. Now everyone thinks the government can fix it, which is bizarre. Government has failed at every institution it has run other than the one it was intended to, the military. Just think what a wonderful job the government has done with Social Security- robbed a 'trust' blind, Medicare- a disaster, Education - a disaster, Poverty - tens of trillions spent, no progress, Housing- See Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, disasters. Now many want the government to take over health care. Sheeez.
  • Yes he was and is COrrect Obama is a big Problem.
