Depends what you mean by government. There have been 23 changes of Constitution. Under some of these, the actual Government was inclined to change every 3 months or so, and it would be quite a task to count them.
Public works jobs cost the government money which it does not have and tend to make people dependent on the federal government. They usually produce little of actual value and serve only to keep people employed.
A limited government is where the power of the government is limited. Power is kept in check by the citizens who vote for the laws, vote for representatives who create the laws, or by a constitution. Unlimited governments have unlimited power. Any time the government has all the power, it takes the power out of the hands of the people and the government is considered unlimited. Unlimited governments include, absolute monarchies, totalitarianism, oligarchies, dictatorships, fascism, theocracies, communism, and some socialistic governments. Limited governments include constitutional monarchies, parliamentary monarchies, republic monarchies, republic democracies, republics, and all democracies. Ecuador, therefore is a limited government, because it is a republic where power is concentrated in the people. Admittedly, the high degree of corruption in Ecuador makes the politicians nearly untouchable, but this is very different from if they had actual legal shielding.
There is no general answer to the question. There are several means by which a corporate entity can steal from you. It depends on the means they use to steal from you that governs the actual charge.
The governments money is tied to the economic and actual weath of the country. If the government did print unlimited money this would de-value the money and make it worth less. This leads to hyper-inflation as is being witnessed in Zimbabwe and what was witnessed in Germany after the wall street crash.
the money we are giving isn't to a charity or to the actual person or group themselves, we are feeding money to the governments of the countries we are "aiding". the government officials get rich off of what we give and the people still suffer what they were suffering in the first place.
They weren't doing the actual fighting, the citizens were.
Actual authority
There is not an actual government, but there is a military called the COG (coalition of gears).
Its because you are looking at a mirror reflection of the actual target.
NOT TERRIBLY transparent. The Indian government is democratic and, therefore, has some accountability, but many of the Indian executive agencies are very opaque and difficult to understand. Additionally since India has hundreds of political parties and coalition governments are made through numerous convoluted tacit agreements, the actual political goals of a ruling party are often unclear.
Service requirements and/or performance standards imposed by the appropriate branch of government, regulatory agency or similar entity directed to actual service providers, not intermediary oversight entities (like state or local governments). Generally used in referencing service and performance requirements on service providers as a necessity to receive payment from a government source.
