[quote user="selector"] I have said in this forum before, in the largely the same words, that the more "problems" the populace demands that it's government solve, the more power and self preservation does the government accrue to itself in its alacrity.  Beware what you ask for.You will be assimilated.[/quote]And this leads to the government developing a variety of crises in order to serve itself in the name of solving those crises.  Government feeds on problems and thereby expands its power.  And the more powerful it gets, the more freedom and property it takes away from its citizens.  Pretty soon it starts mandating how much water you can use, how much you can heat your home, how far you can drive your car each month, or even what kind of light bulbs you must use.  It starts with a group releasing a study that shows that Americans are getting fatter, poorer, more stressed, sleep deprived, gouged by corporations, more at risk for allergies, delayed by traffic, or some other form of victimization.  The group sends the study to TV news, and they (without realizing the role they play) cement the victimization by informing the would-be victims of it.  Part of this process of creating victims is the implication that victims have a right to not be victimized, so they naturally turn to government for the solution.  Therefore, afflicted with a grievance and armed with a right of relief, the victims besiege congress and demand redress.  In response, congress creates a program with the presented intention to make victims whole again.  Of course the real intention is to make the government bigger; a process that began with the study produced by a group.We do indeed seem to have a lot of problems on our plate, but they are not just landing there by normal circumstances.  Rather, the problems are being served up intentionally with ulterior motives.   And those problems will pale compared to the problems that will flow from demanding that the government solve them.
