As an American, now citizens of the world can feel the pain of how horrible our government is.
At the end of the day, our government is big & intrusive, it's even worst in CA, another super liberal state with a massively big govt.
This guy in office, Obama... he's all about making the government bigger. He'll tell you a nice story how about how he's helping everyone out, and he believes in a collective society and that government plays a central role in all all that. That rich people need to pay more taxes and that we need to expand entitlements beyond their craziness right now. He's basically telling everyone that the government is too small and needs to be bigger.
And right when you are about to buy that line, remember... shit like this happens. The government isn't nice, it's not efficient, the money they raise doesn't always go for how it's intended, and generally, they fuck everything up because they aren't incentivized by the right things. His healthcare website, that really has gone over well, it's because the government is amazing at building websites.
So next time you think about Obama and increasing the size of the govt, that you buy the bullshit they spew on TV how he's looking out for everyone, then go back and look at the metrics of his presidency and he's basically shaping up to be as bad as George W. The only thing he has done correctly is hit up some social issues, like gay rights, and even then, he played politics with it.
