If the government is capable of such conspiracy and treachery regarding national defense, one of the only constituionally mandated funcions of the federal government, then they should not be trusted to take on other areas outside of specifically enumerated constitutional authority. All powers not specifically granted to the federal government are granted to the states.

My point is that I find it ridiculous that so many with such distrust of the government would want them heading up anything additional, such as nationalized health care, or think that social security money (nothing but a federally mandated pyramid scheme) is better left with the government than entrusted into the private sector.

Most certainly not meaningless nor absurd in the comparison to how some view the government.
