What's wrong with U.S. government

Posted January 18, 2010 10:00 pm

Here is a list filled with examples of why the U.S. government should just do their job and get out of peoples' everyday lives.

Cash for Clunkers, mortage relief/industry, post office, Medicare/Medicaid, educational system, global warming, railroad system, Social Security, stimulus bailout, earmarks, banking bailout, job creations/unemployment, free market, Cap and Trade, NAFTA, GM/Chrysler bailout, Energy Department, market subsidies, Great Society, government transparency, OSHA, War on Drugs, IRS Tax System, politicians, EPA, FEMA, infrastructure, Homeland Security.

This just a small list of failures.

Does one really want to trust a group of people who can't do their jobs? Or who will not take part in a health care bill that is supposed to be so wonderful, but not for them? Why should they? After all they have the best health system possible. In this case, what is good for the rank and file, is not good enough for those deciding what is best for the rest of us.

Good luck with "change" from this government.
