I think the real question is "is the so called lack of profit in goverment provided goods worth the lack of effectivness in goverment action"

"It's to help the poor" means "It's to punish the rich for being successful".

No, its a punishment for the rich for not giving to the poor.

when a statist says "The American People..."

He really means the significantly less than 51% of the total population who voted for him.

"Profiteering" off of some (government-created) disaster means "correcting the government's mistakes". The statists: they hate that.

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
