The feeling I'm left with is that some people have no concept of common decency. They think, hey, if I can get away with it, it's okay. If someone's handing out free money and I just tell a few white lies, it's perfectly fine. After all, everyone else is doing it, and if I don't screw someone first, they'll screw me. Sounds like some of the politicians in office right now, by the way. Meanwhile, there are people’s whose homes were blown apart and they get a few thousand bucks from their insurance companies.

If you don't believe in the government, you'll install incompetent administrators who will very swiftly prove your point. Notice that Clinton-era FEMA never had any of these problems.

At one point Ronald Reagan called for the disolving of the Dept. of Education. In hindsight, and billions upon billions of wasted dollars later, he seems to have been right.
