Government it not the solution, it is the single biggest problem. Massive government takes our income and diverts it from productive uses (savings and investments) that create jobs, and wastes it on unnecessary administrative paper pushing and corruption (and so destroys jobs). Administrative waste and corruption are proportional to the size of government spending. These things cannot be controlled by more laws or rules designed to eliminate waste and increase efficiency--those new rules only complicate and add to the problem. When bureaucracies become as massive as they have become they are far too big to fix and they take on a life of their own that no one--not even a Republican--can fix.
So what to do? The only solution is to decrease the amount of our nation's resources that the government controls and spends. That can only be done when we stop asking government for benefits--personal, business, or whatever--and actually demand that they stop, or at least reduce, the "benefits" that we are receiving. This means less Social Security, medical subsidies, unemployment insurance, affordable housing subsidies, and on-and-on--everything that we "deserve" because we paid our taxes. Demanding compensation for the taxes that we paid only makes the problem worse!!! Government is already borrowing billions every year to pay for those things. And most all those benefits paid by government are unconstitutional.
The following is an old video (2009), but the message is timeless (and understated).
Have a nice day.
