So...when IS it OK to make a negative comment about the government? Or can we not?

And I think the idea is good in principle, like I said, just painful to execute and very risky as to whether it'll even work at all.
I'm only making the point that you can criticise a government when it tries to fix a problem, and you can criticise a government when it does not try to fix a problem, but if you do both without offering an alternative... it seems like they can't do anything right. Not that they actually can't to things right, just that every possible option must be wrong according to us.

And when the solution obviously must put a strain on the rest of us, being what a nation is made of (and a nation that we are trying to fix) that is just asinine.

I also recall making a direct criticism in the very post.
