Myriad failed programs show that our government and its many employees have goals entirely separate from the welfare of America and her citizens.
Reagan once said: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." He was right, the government’s not your friend and it most certainly isn’t here to help you.
The dirty little secret about government is that its purpose is not really to make the lives of citizens better but, rather, to accumulate power at the expense of citizens. Not sure about that? Ask yourself, how many government agencies have put themselves out of a job because they succeeded? There’re a few that technology left behind, like the Steamboat Inspection Service; others that served their purpose, like the Defense Homes Corporation; while others were merged into other agencies like the General Land Office, subsumed into the Department of Interior. In our history, there have been fewer than 100 federal agencies that have actually been shuttered, and most of those existed in the early 20th century to deal with the Depression or the two world wars.
According to the Federal Register, the federal government has 457 different agencies. That’s 457 agencies covering virtually every aspect of American’s lives, most of which are staffed by unelected bureaucrats, all of whom spend your money and many of whom write regulations that carry the force of law which the government’s police power enforces. This includes everything from the State Department to the Geographic Names Board to the International Broadcasting Board to the ATF.
And that 457 is misleading. While it includes a dozen organizations tied to Defense, there are dozens more agencies that come under it that are not listed in the Federal Register

What happens when the tick becomes larger than the dog it is attached to?
Very well put.
And what does the government do for your family, Future Democratic Voter?
It pays for our child care, our K-12 education, our health care, our electricity and natural gas most of the time, our food, our school lunches, almost all our rent, our family car I and my sister get $300/month to pay for (along with mommy’s lottery tickets)....
What does mommy do?
We keep her busy.
I’m wondering how many federal employees will be canned after refusing the clot shot.
I taught my kids that the greatest threat to their financial security is the government.
“My daddy tol me to shoot anyone from the government or the bank.”
Most dangerous you’ll ever hear
I’m from the government I’m here to help you.

-THIS is why the rule of law AND our “Representative Republic” is DEAD.
Anyone who thinks we can vote our way out of this is delusional.
The government of the United States has long been an insatiable monster that is bent upon consuming us all. There is not a single branch or department that has the citizens of this nation in mind, other than as a target to beat into absolute submission.
The experiment of ‘self government’ ended long ago, and most folk didn’t even notice.
