Why does the government get more power when it fails?

Crisis has always been used by governments in an excuse to grab extra power. -Always-. And few things governments ever go after, claiming it'd be 'temporary'...are truly, in the end of it, temporary. It's because governments naturally show an inclination to continue growing, in America our forefathers intended for the people to keep them in check so it wouldn't get out of control. UNFORTUNATELY, our latest President has been steadily and stealthily been working toward big government, and it seems to be clear now: fascism. Again, he's an ignoramus, I doubt he realized what he was doing fully. Very few people, it seems, actually agree that the government will do this...as we get closer to this bail out plan the angrier and more upset people get -- Congress has been getting pretty nosy lately between those that believe it's unavoidable, those that're striving for a middle ground, and those who flat out oppose this. Logic says that more power to an incompetent, power-hungry government when it's created a government is the most idiotic idea ever. You'll notice that only big, huge, usually global, and rich companies, businesses, and banks are to benefit from this plan...and they're not even what our economy relies on the most. Our economy needs its people first and foremost. And unfortunately, there's very few ways of executing this idea of theirs, without obliterating what's left, as they say, on main street. Like I've said before, risking EVERYTHING for a minuscule chance to put everything back (which in itself is an overly optimistic idea)...risking destroying yourself just for one tiny chance instead of trying to figure out how to endure, is insanity. Pure and simply. Insanity that will be exploited, at that, which is even worse. *sighs* I'll get off my soap box now.
