Not in hindsight though. The three branches work in cahoots to accumulate power outside of the power they were granted in the first place. And to top it off, they are the ones in charge of declaring how much power they are allowed to assert.
Founders abhorred standing army. So our feds decided to work around that and create HUGE standing armies.
Congress is in charge of regulating the value of money. They outsource that to a private bank and wash their hands.
Departments of energy, education - snooping on the public with reckless abandon, elected peeps nothing but puppet actors.
It's sad, it's disgusting, it's reprehenisble, it's immoral, what the government has become is wrong itself, and I will not shed one tear over its eventual demise. It will crumble under its own weight.
