Liberals also like governments
because of elitism and specialization. They are comforted by the belief
that supposedly stronger and smarter people, and those who are highly
trained and experienced, are specifically dedicated and working to resolve some of the more challenging societal
problems. They like being able to trustingly shift certain tasks to
seemingly more capable people, and put those tasks out of sight and mind
so they can focus on other tasks for which they, themselves, are well
suited. Understandably, liberals may be so engrossed in their own careers that
they haven't the time or energy to examine the intricacies of foreign
policies or the minute details of appropriation bills, and so it is nice
for them to have people far more knowledgeable in those areas analyzing and
making decisions.
Again, this makes some sense, but
cuts both ways. It is not uncommon for the best and the brightest and
the most experienced to come up with some of the more profoundly asinine
ideas and the most colossal failures known to man. It seems as though
there is a fine line between genius and idiocy, where much of the time
the line is crossed in the direction of idiocy--Leftist LUNCs being a
case in point.
Besides, the governments that liberals
are so fond of aren't necessarily filled with the best and the brightest
and elite experts. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to seek
employment in the public sector because they failed to make it in the
private sector. As mentioned in the Obamacare LUNCs, Obamacare "greatly expands federal and state governments, increases
taxes (contrary to what was promised), and it puts life-and-death
health care decisions in the hands of the entity that can't
rightly fix potholes or deliver the mail on time. And, with the recent
scandals, it is unsettling to know that the IRS will be the go-to
collection
agency." Steven Horwitz says: "Obamacare’s approach to fixing the very real problems of U.S. medical
care is exactly backward. It undermines the market-driven parts that are
working, and expands government control that is not." (See HERE)
