Americans hate our government. We hate Congress. We usually hate the president. We don’t like our local dogcatcher. But the problem with government isn’t that government doesn’t get enough done — it’s that it gets too much done. And because government has a legacy of growing beyond its Constitutionally-proscribed bounds, Americans have become accustomed to the government taking care of them. That, in turn, leads to calls for government action with every supposed crisis. If we want to restore logical boundaries to government, we can begin by restoring logical boundaries to our desire to rely on the government. To do that, however, we must first understand how the government currently works. Here’s a hint: it has almost nothing to do with the Constitution.
Myth 1: Congress is the problem.
