Is it your assumption that social problems are necessarily remediable by government programs? Are you sure that many government programs don't exacerbate social problems? Are you sure that market forces won't solve many of the problems you perceive without creating sclerotic, inflexible, antidemocratic bureaucracies? Have you considered that many programs place self-perpetuation as a goal ahead of any useful societal purpose? Are you convincingly able to discount the law of unintended consequences, which arises because planning will never be able to anticipate and account for the effects of its implementation?
Will I ever stop asking questions?
