Try and remember that, huh?
You might want to keep this tendency of our government in mind when considering other Great Government Programs under consideration.
I could fill a page with Federal programs, like Medicare, which were voted in under a certain set of assumptions and fervent promises, and then grew out of all control, both financially and in terms of power over the citizen.
When I complain about the appetite for power of our government on this board, certain people think I'm just being ridiculous and paranoid.
