Exactly.

Why are people so dazzled by the good intentions and labels of government programs and departments and so blind to the actual results which are usually just the opposite of the stated intentions?

I'll offer one answer. Because the government heralds and trumpets every new program and expansion of power with a lot of pomp and circumstance. The public is dazzled. But months or years later, when the public has forgotten all about it, the government quietly hides the actual causes of its disastrous failures and goes into another round of dazzling the public and saying it doesn't have enough money to accomplish all these wonderful things. Around and around we go.

Government is the only entity that asks of a raise when it fails.
