If the government is the solution to all problems, why haven’t they solved our problems

We keep hearing from Dems all the time, in fact, it’s their only strategy. They say,” more government or government spending will solve x,y and z.”
But instead of solving the problems it only exasperates them.
Dan Bongino always quotes this line from the movie Moneyball. “ If he’s such a good hitter, why can’t he hit?”
It’s the same with the Dems. Decade after decade they advocate for more government and spending in areas like; education, crime, infrastructure, health care, etc., but their sollution never works.
How long will it take before Americans realize they never will work?
And why can they get away with offering the same worthless sollution all the time and never get punished for it?

Even the "best" Government solutions generally lead to even worse unintended consequences

It’s gotten to the point that voters are simply bribed for their votes.

Liberal governments have never fixed anything....just look around the world today!

It should be against the law to have a career politician promising tens of millions of young Americans student loan forgiveness for their vote. How they can do that? It’s crazy…..you can’t defeat a politician who is promising to give their constituents your money.

Next time it will work. Just like socialism.

When people understand that there are no solutions, only trade offs, we will again look towards the free market to create the best standards of living.
There is no area of government involvement in our personal lives that has added to our standards of living since the sixties.
Affirmative action is outright discrimination. U.S. steelworkers v weber
Welfare state was supposed to be a temporary solution but in reality as lyndon Johnson matter of factly stated, welfare is simply a voting control mechanism.
Education is the worst it has ever been and the no child left behind has truly created a standardized citizenry incapable of independent thought with newspaper brains, high school ideas, and television souls.
War on drugs is another outright failure.
War on terror... patriot act
Ndaa act
Repealing of Smith mundt act
Propaganda can be used if just one terrorist could receive the transmission.
Don't forget sovereign citizen and conspiracy theorist are domestic terrorist, however, the fbi and Cia in my opinion, created counter movements for people to fear the word citizen and the 14th amendment as bad things.
“The words ‘people of the United States’ and ‘citizens’ are synonymous terms, and mean the same thing. They are what we familiarly call the ‘sovereign people’, and every citizen is one of this people, and a constituent member of this sovereignty.” Scott vs. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 60 U.S. 393 (1856).
The word "citizen" as used in the Fourteenth Amendment is used in a political sense to designate one who has the rights and privileges of a citizen of a state or of the United States and does not mean the same thing as a resident, inhabitant, or person. Baldwin v Franks (1887) 120 US 678, 30 L Ed 766, 7 S Ct 656.
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. James Madison
“In my humble opinion, those who come to engage in debates of consequence, and who challenge accepted wisdom, should expect to be treated badly. Nonetheless, they must stand undaunted. That is required. And that should be expected. For it is bravery that is required to secure freedom.”
— Clarence Thomas

I always find it funny when dumbass leftists say Elon should pay more taxes and we could end world hunger. Governments have waaayyy more money than Elon or Bezos and they can’t solve any problems or fix anything. Just make shite worse constantly.

Because they caused the problems.

You're 100% correct but the filth will always let their ideology override the truth. They can't admit that their fricked up view of life is wrong.
Putting people in boxes. playing the victim and taking away others' liberty is their utopia.

Oh great, another, "Defund the police!" nut.

So that’s what you took out of my post?

You apparently didn’t get the memo from the current admin about how swimmingly things are going?…

Doesn't matter how much you fund police, sheriffs, wildlife and fishery agents or state troopers, if the pool that they are drawn from is systematically dumbed down, and quota hires are more important than psychological aptitude test are, it is more wasting of tax dollars by incompetent local, state, and federal government.
If the officers cannot at the very least recite the 4th amendment and quickly identify what is a reasonably articulated suspicion of criminal activity, and that the articulation requires objective facts over subjective belief, they are not sufficient to serve as officers, who only cost cities, states, and federal government more money, ipso facto, US. Taxpayers.
Officers should have to carry personal insurance.
Qualified immunity needs to go, as does judicial for that matter.
However, when individuals can make choices, without consequences for those choices, no one benefits.
Criminals need hard time.
When officers commit crimes, they need hard time!

For 40 years I heard the same thing from the Republicans in the name of the War on Drugs. Stop pretending that it's only one side. All that money didn't solve a damned thing. The drugs won the war.
So I figured you're just talking about wasting money on government, and how we shouldn't do it. They never solve any problems, right?

I’m not saying Republicans don’t ever use government money to throw at issues, but with Dems, it’s always the only solution
