Large Government Contradictions

Here are some sure ways of telling when you have too much government –

1. One government agency promotes gay marriage (sodomy – no conception possible) and another agency promotes free birth control/abortions/sterilizations for all (avoid or eliminate conception) while a third government agency admits record numbers of immigrants (increase the population.)

2. One government agency says you can’t build that factory or plant because of environmental emissions and another government agency travels overseas to convince foreign manufacturers to build their plants and factories in the US.

3. One government agency sends massive amounts of humanitarian and military aid to a foreign country while that same foreign country detains and prosecutes Americans and other foreigners for engaging in “democratic” enhancement activities.

4. One government agency distributes electronic cards good for free food acquisition of high caloric, high fat, low fiber food treats and processed, packaged items and another government agency transmits electronic messages advising against eating high caloric, high fat, low fiber food treats and beverages.

5. One government agency prosecutes those who import and distribute “illegal drugs” while another government agency funds those who grow, cultivate and process those “illegal drugs” for sale in the US.

6. One government agency joins with other governments to attack an established but troubled dictator of a foreign country while another government agency prepares aid and military support for an established but troubled dictator of another foreign country.

7. One government agency sends funds and equipment to local police departments for homeland security purposes while another government agency prosecutes and indicts the same police department for enforcing immigration laws and protecting the border against potential threats to the homeland security.

8. One government agency regulates through decree and dictates for energy savings and automobile gasoline mileage improvements and another government agency ignores all such rules as it values convenience and security for a select few over environmental concerns.

9. One government agency tells homeowners what to do, when to do it and how to get almost any construction/improvement activity done and another government agency disregards all such rules and regulations as it spends homeowners tax money on its own projects.

10. One government agency provides generous loans, grants and other forms of financial assistance to students studying esoteric curricula offering little or no employment potential while another government agency retrains those with little or no practical job skills in order to increase their employment potential.

11. One government agency offers litigation and counseling support to employees who claim various forms of violations of their “civil rights” and other “protected legislation” decrees against their employers while another government agency seeks employers to expand their job opportunities for the unemployed.

12. One government agency promotes housing ownership for all while another government agency files litigation against those lenders who make such loans promoting housing ownership expansion as they take action to collect the loans when they are not being repaid.

The list is endless. These examples barely scratch the contradictions of too many government agencies; too many government rules, laws and regulations and too many government employees engaged in all of the above.

Is there a solution? Of course there is. But there is no government agency to propose it, evaluate it, set up a bureaucracy to study it, much less implement it. Ah, but you say what about the Simpson – Bowles commission and their review and their proposals?

See: http://www.fiscalcommission.gov/  We rest our case.

Once you create a government agency, there is no committee or study group or task force on the face of the earth with the power to dismantle it. There most certainly is no political process with the force to dismantle it. The only thing that kills a government agency is turmoil in one of several forms. The sooner the turmoil arrives the sooner (hopefully) America will again be a free society with sensible rules and requirements. And then it is only a matter of time (took about 150 years to get here) until it degrades into something resembling the current mess.

There is no group; no family; no business organization that could possibly engage in or fund this level of contradictory behavior for more than fleeting moments.  Such contradictory behavior is solely the purview of government and its agencies.  Only those who take from others; who don't need to earn the funds and account to anyone can engage in such hypocritical antics.  This simple fact is why the US was formed based on the concept of greatly limiting government power and reach.  Unfortunately, our founders forgot, or were unable to foresee the need, to limit funding government agencies because it is only with unlimited taxes and borrowed money that this hypocrisy can sustain.

Of all the hypocrisies detailed above, the one we find most peculiar is the contradiction between a government which promotes sodomy and all forms of anti birth/anti population increase while also admitting record numbers of foreigners as legal residents.

It just makes no sense.
