Is it government's job to make up for someone's mistakes?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Making mistakes is part of life. The only things I would feel ashamed of would be if I had said things I hadn't believed in order to get on. Some politicians do do that.
All humans make mistakes. But there is no room or allowance in the fevered world of conspiracy theorists for mistakes, human errors, anomalies, or plain incompetence, though the latter, from the highest levels on down, is endemic to our society.
Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made.
Any political system can commit mistakes and any state can commit mistakes. What is most important is to acknowledge these mistakes and put them right as soon as possible and put those behind them into account, bring them to account.
I'm sure a lot of people out there make mistakes.
You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president.
Mistakes are not always the result of someone's ineptitude.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
In business, you learn from mistakes. In government, they never do.
It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
