>I assume you're referring to, for example, enacting more government programs.

Or saddling existing ones with poorly thought out requirements and revisions and whatnot.

These programs always seem to start decent and go to crap with time as the "older" bits of government sink their teeth in with subsequent revisions because there's no political will to constantly fight the fight you need to to keep it from becoming co-opted or at the very least degraded by other interests.

At some point people start noticing the pattern, get tired of it and just saying no to the initial request even if it has merit. It's probably just yet another symptom of how bankrupt our institutions are. <sighs>
