It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there is a huge responsibility upon governments to understand the consequence of their decisions.
What we are missing, utterly and completely, in this government is accountability.
I would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government.
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
The people of America need personal responsibility and freedom, not dependency on the government.
Those who have the power and should be the most responsible are often the least responsible.
Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.
You have to have a certain realism that government is a pretty blunt instrument, and without the constant attention of highly qualified people with the right metrics, it will fall into not doing things very well.
I think it's always easy to be sympathetic to parts of the government in detail; in their concrete manifestations. Because obviously, we don't have government for no reason.
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
