I truly believe that the "government", from the city council up to the president, is primarily made up of well-intentioned retards who, given the chance, will almost always come up with the worst possible way to accomplish any task they are given. "We, The People" keep demanding more and more from "them", and none of "them" has either the brains or backbone to tell "us", "Your idea is stupid, and you can't have it." "We" reward them for their stupidity by re-electing "them" until they come up against either a term limit, or an indictment.

We get the government we deserve.
