Unintended Consequences
Mar 18, 2024 17:40:12   #
Darling Mary
 
Government policies created for one set of purposes almost always generate additional results that were not part of the original plan. Very often these unintended consequences are seriously adverse, and in some cases are so severe as to render the policy a failure. We can examine four major instances of significant unintended consequences, all of them negative, resulting from major public policies: the federal income tax, cigarette taxes, minimum wage laws, and alcohol prohibition.  These policies played a significant role in creating America's vast welfare state, criminal activities, a bloated government hungry for more revenue, a scarcity of jobs for teenagers and the working poor, corrupt public officials, overcrowded prisons, and much more. Not exactly what the originators had foreseen.

With the pace of government policymaking continuing unabated, How can we examine and minimize the potential outcomes of bureaucratic activity before they can potentially harm the public—in ways not intended or anticipated—are more necessary and vital than ever before.
God help us!

Unfortunately the government juggernauts only response is to create MORE policies to address the problem they created.

Well stated. It is say but you are right. The corrupt politicians will be the end of our once great country. I wish at least one of the retired politicians would tell the truth about the corruption. They probably don’t because of how they were involved.

Well said, If we reduce the size of our government will we have a better chance to review what policies are being passed?
