You're onto their little secret.
This is the logic of the State; always has been, always will be.

I prefer to think of it as the logic of the Statists; as you and most people on FR know, this State was not set up to be the way it seems to be headed (or even the way it is now). The Founding Fathers and their generation fought a bloody war on home soil to be rid of Statists, and structured our government to prevent them from gaining too much power. It worked for a while, but it is falling apart now. The Founding Fathers knew that it couldn't last based solely on what was written in any document, but only for so long as the People were vigilant. The Statists know this and are patient; they hope to boil the frog slowly. It is our job at FR (in the frog's brain, to keep going with this analogy) to wake up the rest of the frog, get it to jump out of the nearly boiling water, grab a gun and shoot the ba$tard$ who turned up the gas.
