Everybody blames the government for everything. The only thing everybody doesn't seem to comprehend is the government is them, formed out of the society from its members. The government is a nonphysical entity and made physical by its citizens. Any trends and opinions regarding it are formed by observing its collective performance. Government is a mirror of ourselves in our image, especially in a democratic society, chosen by its citizens. The function of government is the same as a governor on internal combustion engines, it has to be there or the engine throws itself apart. These obstructionists are like the sailor that "accidentally" drops the monkey wrench into the turbine so he can get some well deserved shore leave. Yes, it creates work for everybody, trying to fix the dropped monkey wrench, and everybody being busy is a good thing, right? That's why its called busy work.
