What is the benefit of bigger more controlling govt and bureaucracies?

Question

What benefit does the average American get out of this when it is obvious the only out come is loss of freedoms?

Answer 1

Nothing, f anything, they will make us all a one goverment world, a socialist enviorment where those ideas will thrive, which IS NOT good for the citizens, at all.... They would tax us out of our money and give us all the same thing, same paycheck, no matter how hard we work.  

Answer 2

Every agency's doubled their budget in the last few years.  

Socialism's got nothing to do with it except to a few neocon talk show hosts.  We have no new social programs and yet government oversight and control's far greater than before.  They have to pass laws to make things they've already been doing legal.

Neocons don't want a huge, overbearing government for social programs, just for control and maybe some legislation of morality and religion.  Meanwhile the other side wants the huge government to support itself and only use social programs to solidify the dependent classes and maintain their power.

Answer 3

The only benefits reaped would be those of the large government and bureaucracies.
