We can't build things like a highway system anymore, we don't have the cash flow to even pay our bills. We are easier to "govern' in a ham sandwich nation were everything is illegal and due process is based on the grace or politics of a bureaucrat. Where everyone is a financial client of the welfare state, beggars are always easy to please.
Statism is how the world was governed prior to the American Revolution, we have retrograded since the election of Woodrow Wilson, the first "progressive" president. Read his writings, the Constitution is an impediment to the state power and therefore bad, the common man being stupid needs to be guided and governed by the elite and bureaucratic experts.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.
It's interesting that some believe that those employed in the public sector are somehow "the new man", without the same flaws all humans have.
