OT - Everything that government does is said by the politicians to be "what the public wants". Some of it is, much of it is not. If politicians really believed the public wanted a lot of government they could simply give the public the money and let them exercise their democracy by how they spend it. For instance - the interstate highway system. The public had already built the interstate highway system it wanted before the federal government ever got involved. It ran from New York to Chicago and only the people who wanted it paid for it. The rest of us did not. Once the feds got involved the politicians made the decisions on who got what. Pittsburgh went for many years with nearly nothing. Columbus got more than it needed. My hometown was turned from a thriving community to a ghost town. The middle class was given easier commutes so they left the large cities for the suburbs. The ghettoization of the cities was the result. Finally, as fewer interstate highways are being built the middle class is returning to the central cities to live.
