It wasn’t what government did that made America great, it was what the Constitution prevented the government from doing that allowed America to become great.
The Constitution is the only reason America became a great power.
Many of today’s Americans have never experienced the freedom a government with limited powers of legislation allows. The elected discovered they can get more votes by ignoring their oath to defend the Constitution and advocate more favors from the Treasury that their powers of legislation permit.
"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the new wonderful good society which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious." --Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
"When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed."
