Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. (Reagan during his gubernatorial campaign in 1965)
And here's another one as to why it's costs are staggering:
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! - Ronald Reagan
Not only what he states, but they grow. The bureaucrats that run them find more and more rationale for their expansion in duties and their enlargement in size.
Both of the above quotes that are factual representations of just about any government are always forgotten for some odd reason.
