“Evidently, the government ignores its own statistics, or is too stupid (most likely) to make the obvious connection.”
The government is a non profit. It is in the business of spending other people’s money, keeping all the employees it has, and then adding even more. It does not have to show a profit to stay in business, it only costs.
Government is not in the business of getting itself out of business.
Does that mean government is also a huge, voracious, greedy parasite? /sarc
