It is illogical if one assumes that the purpose for the program is what 
they SAY is the purpose for the program.  When's the last time that happened? 
 
An example is, of course, the government education system.

We have been stewed too long in the mindset that whatever we do that passes 
money around in a circle is commerce and prosperity, we have come to the 
point that we are willing to suspend logic and reality and think that if we 
(collectively) smash up a bunch of cars, that somehow is like making things 
or 
growing things.

When we build a building, that's part of the GDP.  But in our current 
reckoning, when we tear it down, that's also part of th GDP.  Moreover if we 
hire 
some parasites to plan tearing it down, "study" the cultural and 
environmental effects of tearing it down, that too is part of the GDP.

We've got a scam going where the rest of the world sends us its energy, 
manufactured goods, and increasingly now of days its food and medicine and 
all 
they get in return is our IOU in the form of treasury debt.  When at some 
point they get tired of this scam, we are screwed.  We will continue passing 
money around to each other and wonder why of a sudden there's nothing to buy 
with it.
