I really don't know why we keep bothering for government to solve our problems. Getting government in usually takes the solution out. Its like getting mad at a pig for wallowing in the mud. It will just frustrate you and annoy the pig. We should focus on limiting the power of government.
Look at how the anti (illegal) immigration people want the government to throw good money after bad on that issue.
Look at how Bush created a Prescription Drug entitlement.
Yes, we need more people who realize that they can take care of themselves and that they do not need a big brother.
