“In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.” PeopleGovernmentLostResultsResponsibilityAreasAll ThingsSightCoreStuckWelcomeSupposed To BeParadoxNeglectInterfereFederal GovernmentFrustrating Author:Rick Perry
