Our Government has long been showing signs of a paranoia. Our Government needs to be confined for it’s own safety and the safety of others.
Our Government is absolutely insane.
It isn't really insane. In fact, it is almost perfectly rational. No matter how nobly its founding principles, every government (every bureaucracy, for that matter) at some point becomes motivated solely for its own continued survival. It is not bound by the principles of liberty, freedom, equality, etc. etc. etc. It is bound only to self-perpetuate.
Not only insane, too expensive, too intrusive, too controlling, too big.
Calling the government insane is being totally unfair to those that are insane. We need another word. But, we cannot, as decent people, repeat it here.
The only reason for our government to be paranoid is because they know they are in the wrong.
Being guilty of treasonous actions against the people can create a lot of angst!
