It gets harder and harder to
tell:
The shocking competence gap and the cavernous honesty gap — brought to you by the “most transparent administration in history” — make our heads spin as we careen from debacle to government-induced debacle. In the tumult, we can miss the main point: Why do we have a federal government?
Its purpose is to safeguard the American people and pursue our interests in the world, not to solve the world’s problems on our dime and, occasionally, by using us as laboratory mice. As free people, we can try to save the planet. The federal government, however, was not created to do it for us, much less to coerce us into implausible “humanitarian” schemes that always manage to line some crony’s pocket. National interest is our government’s only reliable compass, yet it has been discarded.

When the corpses stack as high as the moon, as of course you'll be able to see it. Because the slave pens will be Transparent, as promised.
I liked Jefferson's answer, given in his famous letter 'On a Pious Fraud.' The Federal Government is to deal with issues facing outside: outside the United States, or between states (i.e., when states look outside themselves). Otherwise, it has no business.
