Comment: Is the US government becoming too rational?

I agree that the government is becoming irrational. I think it's because they are more in it for power now, rather than what is best for the people. From the definition given by "rational" I would say that the government is being the exact opposite. In the past, I can see how rationality of the government was the politician's main goal, but yet it sometimes became irrational. However, I see the government becoming more and more irrational without even trying to be rational in the first place. When they don't tell us the whole truth about issues, or say and do anything to be elected, I see it more being about power rather than being rational, which is exactly why I favor less government.
