![“Charity is no part of the legislative duty of government. It would puzzle any gentleman to lay his finger on any part of the Constitution which would authorize the government to interpose in the relief of… sufferers.” - James Madison [560x560 - 297KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/6yDNyY.png){kind=link}
It is rather odd to make a statement like that and not see how a consolidation of power in Washington would not end well.
Ok, you believe in god you end up in heaven and the first thing you see next to the entrance gate is a sign that reads "~ Holy Constitution of Heaven ~ By We The People" and right under that title you have "Article 1: God shall not infringe upon people's freedom of speech", "Article 2: God shall not infringe upon people's right to bear arms", etc...
Right away, what does that tell you of god and its people, of the nature of their relationship?
You would think stuffs happened and obviously resulted in that guy "god" having a bunch of restrictions specifically imposed upon him by everybody else, and they even made that big sign and placed it right next the entrance gate so everybody gets the memo; god has a tendency to censor and expropriate its people, at minima, and that's only for article 1 and 2, you have hundreds like that

They knew
It's like a tech, a car if you will; you know it's going to turn to shit if a bunch of idiots remain in charge of it for long enough
Makes you wonder what his motive were to accelerate the process of destruction.
Separation of powers and the federalist system, with strong states rights, was supposed to keep power in the hands of the individual as much as possible.
The problem is that you have an infinite money supply, that's the loophole, generating an infinite realm of possibilities. Infinite misallocation of capital and funding of very dumb ideas for far too long often without any obligation of result, being one of them. Factor that by tangent to infinity and you have a very long train of abuse leading to a fucking disaster of biblical proportions
The only way to restrict the size and scope of .gov is to reduce its budget/backing/fuel. Nobody's going to work for free on somebody else's problems, or so few they'll inevitably be confronted with "material feasibility" with anything large scale
And that point in time, where .gov is reduced in scope and size for lack of financial resources, will happen, the easy or the hard way, it has to happen
For america and europe it's fucked, it will happen the hard way; .gov and all its parasites depending on it to survive will go bust. From there, people will be forced to live without .gov, because it's just not going to respond, it's not going to be there, it's only going to pretend to exist and god help us all because that's where the course of events is leading us to, right now, that's the slippery slope we're sliding in, at full speed and since far too long already
