when you look at it from a perspective based in the Constitution...the federal government has expanded FAR BEYOND it's intended purpose, design and intent...
why, in the world, should the federal government be in the home mortgage business? health insurance business? student loan business? regulation of private sector businesses?
answer: they shouldn't...
No they certainly shouldn't, but its obvious there are many voters that want them involved in everything. Little do those voters know, they are playing into the hands of tyrants.
CDQ, the USPS is bankrupt. If they were a privately owned business, they would have been gone long ago. Using the USPS as an example of why big government is good, is a pretty lame example. In fact there are no good examples of us benefiting from a big, over grown, wasteful, government.
