The feds, state and local goverments need a constant supply of fear, doubt and uncertainty to justify the money the spend on our behalf. Goverment is supposed to solve problems not keep them around eternally. A lot of hot air was directed at the war in Iraq and the amount of money it costs. How much has the war on poverty cost us to date? Ditto the war on drugs? The goverment has no interest in solving problems. To do so would put the jobs of thousands of lawyers, Lobbyists and Bureaucrats in Jeopardy. The federal government no longer serves the people as a whole, it serves the special interests, lobbyists and advocacy groups that constantly whine about how important they are. We have already priced ourselves out of manufacturing in this country due to the immense rules and regulations we have to contend with. What was left over in the service sector is being outsourced. We are being impoverished and sacrificed on the altars of global trade, diversity and fairness.
