Great observation!
Any time we look to the government to "fix" something it results in another loss of individual freedom.
The government should shrink. But you'll never hear a candidate say that. They wouldn't get elected.
Maybe the libertarian view of smaller government is too much for some "conservatives."

Thanks.
Punitive federal and state agencies often get established when something bad is happening.
They never help with the so called bad problem and never go away.
As you noted, they just take away more freedom and choices.
