Nearly every government official or candidate for office has a governmental solution for issues we face, regardless of the nature of that issue. Poverty? Let’s adjust the minimum wage. Education? Let’s tweak this or implement that new and shiny idea in government schools. Jobs? We need the government efforts to lure businesses to a certain area with special favors. What these “solutions” fail to address is the largest problem, the government itself. They seek to reform a reform of a reform that needed to change. We’re told that these solutions are “outside the box” thinking, yet they simply make a small adjustment thought to “fix” the problem they’ve now uncovered.
