Governmentalism is not an ideology. It is a method of taking control of money, resources, people, existing forms of government to achieve the goals of a person or a group of people.
Governance in the US for over 200 years has been based on the freedom to debate. US citizens have the constitutional right to hold differing opinions while holding a sincere belief in the United States and respecting each other's right to their beliefs and to privacy, 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.
Our pluralistic form of government allows people to vote, 'yes' or 'no'. The side with the majority of votes wins. If the voters on the losing side continue to disagree, they may again raise the issue for another vote later on.
Currently, a 'consensus'-based form of governance are being developed. With consensus-building, voters are not allowed to disagree. Financial or other favors, 'perks', less politely termed 'bribes', often unrelated to the issue under debate, are offered by aggressive consensus-builders to those who disagree. On the negative side, extortionate pressures, blackmail, threats, false or aggressive tax and bill collecting, and other ultimatums may be advanced by the 'consensus builders'. This is deal-making with a capital 'D', 'trade-offs' in which the spirit and letter of law of the American Democracy is lost.
Federal legislators in the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as on the State level, and in City Councils throughout the US, have been accused of too much 'partisan' politics and too little constructive activity during their terms of office. What this deep difference of opinion reflects are deep differences in belief within society.
The approach currently used in federal and other legislative groups is the 'non-partisan' consensus-building approach'. 'Non-partisan consensus-building' turns off ideological debate. This approach encourages legislators to find the 'least common denominator' among them, that most if not all legislators come to politics to make money. Legislators are told 'you are no better than me' and encouraged to 'join together' to 'create wealth', profit, and money-making opportunities during their terms in office.
'Creating wealth' for themselves is against the real US laws of government. It is also antithetical to the survival of the American economy. For example, federal legislators and officials, by law, are not permitted to receive raises in salaries and other monies they vote for during their terms in office.
A more egregious practice, now apparently quite common, is the making of 'legislator'-millionaires by manipulation of the stock market, tax, and other regulatory attacks on business to achieve wealth.
An example may be a Security and Exchange Commission action against an old mortgage lender or stock broker, with a de-valuation of assets, then 'bought' by a government official or friend for little or nothing, then re-valued for a substantial net profit. This may have occurred with Lehman Brothers and Merrill-Lynch, Jewish and Catholic financial houses, respectively, not liked by Masonic or Muslim-affiliated politicians or bureaucrats. 'Colored people' who feel they have the corner on the 'discriminated against' market, have engaged in such strategies to 'build wealth' by taking money and property from White, Jewish or Christian US citizens.
Another common example is mortgage-refinancing and government-affiliated schemes to take the original homeowner's property, 'sell off' these properties to government or business friends at a substantial discount, then approve the 2nd homeowner for low-interest 'homeowner' mortgage loan plans not available to the original homeowner.
'Loopholes' in the law, like the meaning of mortgage owner, original or 2nd mortgage-holder after the property has been taken from the original homeowner, have made these financial manipulations, which even on the surface appear to be extremely unfair, a form of theft by deception, common in the past 10-20 years.
