Government making things worse

In this episode of The Constitution Study on America Out Loud Podcast Network, host Paul Engel delivers a passionate critique of government overreach and inefficiency, arguing that government consistently makes things worse rather than better. Drawing from real-world examples—including Canada's physician-assisted dying program, the mismanagement of the No Surprises Act, and the failure to enforce immigration laws—he illustrates how government intervention often leads to unintended consequences, moral compromise, and systemic failure. Engel emphasizes that the Constitution is not a tool for government to solve every problem, but a framework to protect individual rights and limit state power. He calls for a revival of civic responsibility, urging Americans to study the Constitution, understand their rights, and hold elected officials accountable rather than relying on government to fix everything. The episode culminates in a call to action: reclaim freedom through education, personal preparedness, and active participation in self-governance.
