Since the dawn of the twentieth century, we have been told that
the federal government has the answers to solve all of society’s problems.
We have been promised, by supposedly serious men who have
sworn an oath before God and man, that if we just give Washington,
D.C., more of our money and more of our personal freedom, the
problems of poverty, illiteracy, racism, unemployment, crime, and
corruption will all be solved. Today, each and every one of these
problems is worse than it has ever been. The federal government and
its blood-sucking bureaucracies do not have a solution to the problem,
they are the problem.

Government is not a solution to our problem government is the problem.

I think the government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.

…there are individual ways that we work our way through all of these systems that are corrosive and inescapable. But if there is a solution to the system itself, it’s at a collective level. It’s the level of policy and politics, it’s not at the level of individual choice.

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.

Public policy can help, but there is no government that can fix these problems for us.

There is always a solution. For everything. Always. Sometimes it isn't pretty and takes a little longer, but there is still a solution.

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.

No one can say which approach is the right one — so no one can say how close we are to a solution.

there's no solution, because there's no problem

If we implement initiatives at the federal level without involving the states, the impact will be minimal. Most of our students come from the states, so collaboration with state stakeholders is crucial.

The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution.

There is no solution because there is no problem.

There is no solution; seek it lovingly
