The federal government can push people around. Corporations can push people around. Individual people can push people around. The problem with hitching the trailer to the government is that it has its own problems and, as a bloated bureaucratic organization, cannot deliver everything. This may disgruntle those who desire for the government to be all things for them. But that is real life. There must be a balance between what the government can do and what the community can do through some of the individuals who make it up through serving, business, and living.
