Why is it assumed that the federal government is not greedy?

Don't they steal enough of our money already? How much do they really need?
I mean, they have access to printed money from the Federal Reserve, they have the power to take our labor from us in hundreds of different ways through income taxes, excise taxes, fees, permits, etc. When is enough enough.
The federal government is so damn greedy.

I know, right. We should eliminate unnecessary spending. Let's start with the bloated military budget.

Who assumes they aren't greedy?

I believe the simpletons who appropriate and distribute our money realize they aren’t particularly adroit at performing this task and thus require a great deal of do over funds.

Intentions over results, AKA the democrat playbook

I don't assume that.
Those that do assume this (and assume that a desire to keep more of the money you have earned IS greedy) believe that all money/wealth is actually the government's, and you should be happy with what you get.

I think the majority of people think the federal government is greedy and wasteful

Greedy or wasteful or both?
One agency was paying bonuses to employees who were complaining that they had no work.
The VA was paying bonuses to employees who were destroying records as was the IRS.

These things aren't even necessarily purposeful. It's just what happens.

Because government is the liberal progressive solution and liberals control the narrative.

If an organization made up of people, like a corporation, can be greedy, certainly a government can too.
