RANT: Name one government program that is a success?

Saturday, May 10, 2008

FROM A FORUM EXCHANGE

You probably want to believe in the FEMA myth too. It would be comforting. “I’m from the gooferment and I’m here to help” — help screw up your life worse than it already is.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I really do believe that, at the root of all human problems, our belief in government, the force that we give it and it wields against our fellow man, is our downfall as human beings. Like a mental disease. Like a parasite. Like a desert mirage.

When challenged, I always ask “Name one government program that is a success?” Bear in mind that buying a hammer for 5k$ is not a success. Effectiveness and efficiency. I have yet to hear of one.

Disclaimer: I stole this idea from the Free Talk Live podcast.

Arghhhhhh?

JOBSEARCH: An employee is just a consultant
