I am a firm believer that our Government is way too big, way to incompetent and has too much graft and corruption. Now having said that I am going to spend the weekend enjoying the freedom I have in a country that is still the best in the history of Civilization, in spite of the mistakes our government has made. It is great because it is filled with great people.

In Canada it’s probably even worse. But despite that, we have a great country, too. I can only image how good things could be if government was fair, efficient, and responsible.

The politicians now are more worried about getting re-elected than making rational decisions.

I’m with Barb – Amen! I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I work for the government, and I wish I had something better to report, but some things we do are codified by smart-less law and would require congressional action to be changed, and congressional action is becoming something of an oximoron now-a-days…

Sometimes I think a lot of laws and regulations should be thrown out and started from scratch.

You said it right, Bo. The people are what make a community great, not its government. Governing is just another word for lording control over someone else.
If we can just try to keep our own backyards clean, there would be no need for someone else to step in and do it for us.

Here in Tasmania the government is HUGE in comparison to our small population. They need more pruning

P.S. It wasn’t that long ago they cut a lot of public sector jobs but not politician jobs
