In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.

Summary

This quote suggests that the federal government has become overly involved in various areas, neglecting its primary responsibilities. As a consequence, they fail to address important issues that are within their mandate while unnecessarily interfering in areas where their involvement is neither necessary nor permitted. This frustration arises from the government's inability to prioritize and focus on its core responsibilities effectively.
