What is your least favorite government funded program, responsibility, activity, or task?

Answer 1

Paying for Social Security and it never paying you back. My father paid social security for 45 years and never lived to collect it. My mother collected it for two years. Then she became very ill and later passed away. During her illness she claimed disability to get medicare or medicade mainly for her meds. Even though she was declared fully disabled she was not eligible to recieve either until she waited two years. She died within a year because she could not afford her meds. I hate to pay for any of those out of my pay every week for those reasons. And I hate it when I see people getting it that abuse it for that reason too.

Answer 2

My least favorite government program right now is the government right now.

Since WWII more and more programs have been instituded that do just that. Many federal programs are things that have no business existing at all. Welfare, healthcare, abortion, and most anything else you can think of fall under the purview of the states powers. It has gotten to the point that most people feel that their state does almost nothing to affect their lives.

The constitution outlines the scope of the powers of our govenment has. They exercise much more than that these days.

Neither the Democrats or Republicans seem to be working for the people anymore. They are either working for the business's or they are working for their own agendas at the taxpayers expense.

Answer 3

Ethanol subsidies. It's corporate welfare for the largest US companies and it is misguided - - - MORE fossil fuel is used to make ethanol (processing, transportation) than is saved by using it (I don't include crop inputs because the same acreage would otherwise be used to grow soy).

toughboy is INSANE - what's a restaurant supposed to do when the homeless guy tries to spend the NIGHT in the bathroom? And what about the fact that so many of them have TB and other diseases? Who is liable to the patron who contracts a disease because he used the bathroom right after the homeless guy did?

Answer - nobody, because that doesn't happen, because restaurants limit bathroom use to patrons.

Answer 4

I'm not in favor of the government having control over any programs in this country, but to answer your question it would be income taxes.

Answer 5

Over inflated social programs. We need a safety net, not dependant care.

Answer 6

Social Security. Most regressive tax we have, and a system that's doomed to collapse.

Answer 7

Victimless crime laws that do nothing but create a nanny state.

Answer 8

Making me wear my damn seat belt. Why is it the governments concern that I wear my seat belt? Do I make the highways any safer by wearing it? Please I want a government not another mother.
