Clogged Pipes

The big problem with rapidly increasing government spending is that it cannot be done. Think of it like a plumber fixing a plumbing problem in your house. The poor guy can only push so much through the pipes. The system is essentially wasteful. Smart folks have been trying to make government less wasteful for centuries and the current American system is actually very good in relation to past or world standards. But friction is inherent in any government system because we have empowered our representatives to make rules. Change take time and people respond to changing conditions in unexpected ways. The fundamental failure of much of congress ignores drive and time lags. And to think they really think they can manage the closely manage the economy. That is why government’s job is to create the conditions that allow the people to make choices that create prosperity, and why it is not the government’s job to manage prosperity. If you ask the government to do it for you, it has to go through the sausage making and what comes out is not always what you think you asked for.
