It's what statists ALWAYS do when their policies fail (as they always do). I have never in my life ever heard a democrat say "We taxed the hardworking too much and spent too much on welfare." Or "Gun control just doesn't work. We need to make it easier for people to get guns not harder."
No, what they ALWAYS say is "We didn't go far enough." I've heard that more times than I can count. Statist logic being if doing x amount of something produces a bad result, then doing ten times x will somehow NOT make things worse but actually reverse the problem.
Or to put it in another way if you're in a hole and digging it deeper, rather than stop digging and fill in the hole, You should keep digging but dig more and faster - somehow this will get you out of the hole.
They ignore the fact that socialism/statism has NEVER delivered on its promises, not even once. And of course the lazy and the stupid believe them. From the results of the 2012 election 51% of the USA belongs to the Dunning Kruger club.
“It’s what statists ALWAYS do when their policies fail (as they always do). “
The other point they alway make when their failure is complete. “It would have worked, we just didn’t do it right or we had incompetent people trying to implement it! It is NEVER the FAULT of the Marxist/ Socialist Philosophy!”
