no problem - My very firm view is that 99% of what the Federal Government does is illegal - strictly prohibited by the United States Constitution.
Thinking about 're-engineering', or revamping, or making things better has reached the point that it is a major irritant to me - for the simple reason ... it's been tried before, and has always failed - even when declared to be a success. Prime Example: "Contract with America".
The problem is too much centralization of power. As Due observes - other than throwing the whole thing out - I don't see any way of improving the situation.
Way too many 'pockets being lined' involved.
The system is TOTALLY CORRUPTED - and can not be 'remedied' without eliminating the source of the problem - Government doing things - having usurped the power to do those things. Preventing that is for which the Constitution was designed; limits, structure, and balances - that have been disappearing and are, today, almost totally absent - or perverted beyond any semblance of recognizability.
As Brother Bill says, the first step is admitting that we have a problem, and that it is beyond our control.
It truly is time for revolution - hopefully peaceful - but that is highly improbable.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
