Its a catch-22. A lot of the problems we face today are directly created by government. Then people clamor for more government to solve those problems.
Its job security for opportunistic politicians and the population at large falls right into it.
Mercy, isn’t that the truth! Of course most reasonable folks should see beyond that and vote government out but of course, that does not happen. Now that we have over 50% of the people being supported by Government, they will continue to vote for those that support them.
It’s of course caused by the old buy me vote and it will continue until the providers are gone. You can only have a government that gives things while there are those that give. I give it another 10 years or so at this rate and we will be another left wing dictatorship or worse...
It may be a catch-22 but it is going to happen much faster than we can imagine. Look at California... Those in need are going to drive out those that provide for those in need. This will expand to Texas and eventually other States until we are out-voted and essentially ungoverned.
Think Mexico - bribes will be the new governance...although it is now but under cover for the most part.
Yes,k a bit pessimistic of the future but it does seem to be coming true much faster than I imagined a few years ago.
