If the government doesn't step in, who will? We need to have more government involvement with issues that involve the people. Enough with the "less government" bs that worked to get us to this point. The government has become most of our problems. The government is there to stay outside the sidelines watching in, then when something goes wrong, to continue to stay out watching in to make sure that it self-heals eventually, but that if it does not self-heal (i.e., dies off or grows up), then the government must step in TEMPORARILY to keep our society civil and high class, adjusting things LIGHTLY until it has finished righting the course, and BEFORE it has even finished getting fixed, it should WITHDRAW, stay on the sidelines until it is sure that it is not needed to fix its own mess, then get out of the way again, outside the sidelines, watching in, as needed. "WATCHING IN" is us the people who then activate the government, not NSA and BIG BROTHER watching us.
What we need is less government. Other forums have ample examples of how it has become the source of most our problems. E.g., with our economy, energy, and environment, government forbids nuclear power. Instead it ought to be temporarily kick-starting it! |
