As the Federal government gets bigger and bigger can you name even one thing it does even remotely better?

  1. Considering that the military is technically part of the federal government I would have to go with:

    “Breaking things and killing foreigners”

    As for the REST of the federal government, bah not so much.

  2. I directly attribute the fall of the RNC with their uncontrolled sprawl of Government. The only way I see the RNC ever reclaiming power is if they shift Right.

    So in a weird sort of way I could argue that the drunken expansion of government will now make the Republicans, act like Republicans.

  3. Unlawfully gain power. It’s gotten incredibly good at that…and what we’ve seen to date will pale in comparison to the ego-driven mastery of the art Obama will perform.

    Look at Minnesota’s senate race and repeat the words of the great Hugh Hewitt: “If it’s not close, they can’t cheat.”

  4. even remotely better

    Even remotely better than what?

    “Every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society – the farmers, mechanics, and laborers – who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government.”

    – Andrew Jackson, Veto of the Bank Bill, July 10, 1832.

  5. Defy logic.

    That’s what the government does better every year it grows bigger.

    Treasure Secretary Susan Collins said “many questions remain about how the government would ensure that mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are carefully appraised so that taxpayers do not overpay or, worse yet, stand liable for debts used to purchase virtually worthless assets.”

    Translation: We need to make sure we don’t overpay for truly worthless assets.

    Now, if I could only figure out how to bump off the liberals in office without committing a crime.
