It's a problem, all right. But what do we do about it without upsetting checks and balances? The fact is, the federal gov't has stuck its nose into too many things, and now Congress and the President have UNIMAGINED powers. The Congress, in particular, has the power to create agencies that even IT can't oversee, and THEIR power is terrifying!
We didn't stop it when FDR packed the Supreme Court to push HIS program, in defiance of the U.S. Constitution. And federal judges can MAKE policies that cost the taxpayer billions, without one of us or a single of our representatives or senators voting on it. Forced busing. Interference in border control, which is arguably the MAIN thing the gov't exists to do!
What we have, now, is a system in which the gov't doesn't do its job but meddles in everything under the sun. There's a web of laws and regulations that's so complex that NObody understands it, fully, and a lawyer can twist to mean just about anything they please. And a judge can use the slightest technicality to thwart the will of the people and the actions of duly elected representatives and president. "General Welfare" has zero to do with "welfare check, crop support, bank bailout, automaker bailout."
