Have you noticed how more and more advocates for government programs these days admit their administration in the past has failed, while claiming without evidence they have worked out all the bugs and now have the perfect solution? How long can the process continue before people lose hope?

As with most excuses for more government, though, the merchants were asked to attend more meetings, forgive the past, and try more of the same insanity in the future.
