If you believe this is some sort of early superhuman thinking machine in the works, you might be able to believe that it's capable of removing a few heads of the hydra while still exploiting it for growth.
But who knows? Maybe it's incentivised to collect even more data on the US people, and become more of a Big Brother than the NSA ever was?
The FedGov has not constructed a single one of the buildings it uses. It pays contractors to build them using stolen money. Also, the $7T is clear evidence of incompetence. The FedGov collected $5.3T in theft revenue last year. This is why it's nearly $40T in debt. Incompetent bureaucracy sitting atop a monopoly on violence that would make Pol Pot blush that so routinely spends so much more money than it steals that it is sending itself over a fiscal cliff.
Good riddance. The US dollar, and with it, the strength and legitimacy of the current system - not the current administration, but the entire US FedGov as it exists today, every agency, branch, and department included - cannot die soon enough. Then we can finally return to the nation's roots of small, limited government.
By that logic, Google, Amazon, WalMart, and every other government on the planet have not constructed a single one of the buildings it uses either. Nor has any organization except a self sufficient prepper or hippie commune. And even then I bet they all had to hire some contractors.
Also by that logic all taxation is theft, which sure buddy, go live out your libertarian fantasies in Somalia.
Somalia has four governments, not zero. More government, more problems.
Also, while I have plenty of grievances with Google and Amazon, neither of them (nor Walmart) has ever forced customers to give them money under implied threat of sending a SWAT team to your house at 3 AM, throwing a flashback through your window, and having a team of men armed with assault rifles abduct you and throw you in a cage for not paying them money that you never voluntarily agreed to pay them.
NSA != USG
