If government is the solution; Then it is highly probable that government created the problem in the first place.

[Dennis is my cousin. Until yesterday it probably had been close to 20 years since I had seen him. He had framed this and put it on the wall of his home. I thought it qualified as QOTD material. Living in California with all the examples to chose from he talked at length about how messed up the government is. Frequently the rants extended to the Federal Government and Washington State government where his brother lives. I had a very pleasant visit.—Joe]
“If it ain’t broke, we’ll fix it until it is.”
– Federal government
That’s what annoys me about blaming the “free market”. Government tries to fix a problem–either real or contrived–and breaks things in the process. Thus, Government decries the Market as broken, and we need to fix it! It’s as if someone wanted to develop a cycle to gradually destroy liberty…
I had heard a similar one, I think it was on one of the boards at The High Road: “If government is the answer, it must have been a really stupid question.”
