The arrogance of politicians and public officials still blows my mind. I can't imagine wanting this kind of power to make decisions that affect millions of lives. There are only two explanations that make sense to me. Stupidity and evil.

When you take away people's freedom by force you insert yourself into things you have no business in. Yes, doing nothing has consequences but forcing a whole population into one path with virtually no thought of the consequences is just another day at the office for politicians.
