Government has been more of a problem than a solution for a very long time.
Elect a new one then! :sun

Elections? :lamo
Reduce the influence and effectiveness is the only way.
Ah yes, the old cut off the nose to spite the face procedure. I've heard of that method. It is why we never solve any of our real problems.
You mean we never actually reduce their influence or effectiveness, therefore never solve any real problems --- I agree. See, what you call the "old cut off the nose to spite the face" hasn't been done, ever, in this country. Government has grown steadily and consistently. What Obama calls the "same failed policies", as it doesn't matter the letter after the name of the politicians, it's grown under all of them. So how about a little REAL change?
What do you suggest?
This is one of those funny threads. It purports to be about "government" and if it is the problem. Without stating what the problem is. Reagan's comments were aimed at "the current crisis" but I'm not sure anyone in the thread is even aware what he was referring to. Reading through the thread and in particular at the author of the threads comments, it looks as clear as day to me that the real problem is this is just another bash Reagan thread. It certainly is not really about discussing the problems associated with government or too much of it or even government overspending. Just another anti Reagan thread trying to masquerade as an honest discussion about the topic of government. Maybe next time just be honest and label your thread what it is and engage on that topic. :roll:
judges and justices who overturn the awful decisions dating to the New Deal
Government is the problem. By that I mean both mainstream parties and the rich lobbyists/corporate global fat-cats that pull their strings. When the bailout occurred; as a small business owner myself I learned what a LIE the so-called "American Dream" is and how there really is no justice in this system. America's trade policies and foreign policies are ruining our way of living and any hope for world peace.
Government is the problem in regards to the following issues;
1. National debt
2. Drug War
3. Entitlement Programs
4. Ability to start/run a business
5. Immigration
6. Foreign Policy
The question is too simplistic. Is the government part of the problem? Yes. Is the government part of the solution? Yes. Are factors other than the government as big or bigger parts of the problem? Yes.
I would suggest people wake up and educate/empower themselves and replace our current representatives with actual representatives rather than fall into the repub vs demo poison that has gripped the nation. IMO they're both the same agendas serving the same select few people.What would you replace government with?
