What the fedgov should be doing, is protecting American jobs.
Don’t forget to include that.
It is very important.
Here's another; take everything for, and everything against global warming and leave it to private industry.
Imaginary Freedom Party congressional chairperson's response to a plea for funding. "I'm sorry. We have nothing to offer you because we don't provide funding for any cause good or bad, well researched or not. You see. We serve as representatives of the American people collectively. The decisions we make costs every single one of them. You'd be better off appealing to individual Americans for financial support of your project. You see, it would be entirely inappropriate if we were seen as playing favorites. That is something the American people will not tolerate."
Ok....I'm still trying to imagine....
The only jobs fedgov is protecting and will ever protect is their own stinking lousy bureaucratic, wasteful, economy-sinking jobs. They will doing everything in their power to keep and grow their bureaucratic jobs and agencies. It's in their best interests. Self interest is just as alive and well in government as it is in business. The only difference is the free market works though voluntary cooperation to achieve those self interests, whereas with fedgovt it's coercion and force on you and I to achieve their self interests.
Fedgov a beast with a life of its own and it couldn't care less about you or me. (BTW - it was never meant to.)
