I think it's bad and I think it's a product of the welfare system.
That mentality of, it's the gumints job, has been seeping into the thinking of the general public, for the people that grew up in the welfare system as a given and for the people who were not in the system thinking "well if they gumint can take care of those people on welfare they can damn well take care of my problem.
The other thing being "if the gumint can spend $300 million studying the sex life of a tree frog they can damn well take care of my problem".
I think most people will agree that any problem the gumint sets out to handle, is going to cost too much and take too long, at best.
