we keep blaming things on the govt and about how they mess things up (or at least i do!) ... but now, can you name something they've actually done right?
oh and throw in which country's govt you're referring to, if possible.

That was hard but I think raising minimum wage. I watch channel 9 in Florida and they seem to have ideas on assisting people with programs to feed the homeless and insight ideas to persons by giving grants. I really need to think about it everyone has been yelling terrorist for so long we have been isolated in fear and shock from the war and beheading and what ever else is thrown at us. We need to start participating in a new system of government that projects answers to relevant questions and forget the brainwashing fear creates.

So far, the United States government has not interfered with the thought processes of its citizens in the privacy of their own homes and offices. However, that will change next year when we will all be required to carry a federal I.D. card - and, a few years after that, when computer chips are implanted into the foreheads of all newborns. By 2050, George Orwell's "1984" book will have become reality in America. -RKO- 08/20/07

US - Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare have worked very well, perfect, no. Building our insterstate system was a huge achievement, unfortunately we suffer from the same problem all governments have, its alot more fun to put youre senator's name on a new bridge or building, but its no fun at all to be the one who recomended putting a new paint job on an old bridge. So eventually they start to fall down, suprise, suprise.

Safe roads.
Reliable electricity.
Honest courts and cops.
Safe foods.
Plentiful food.
Clean and pure drinking water.
Efficient sewers.
Etc.

The US Government needs instructions on how to wipe. Even still, we're left with crap and it's our futures that end up in the toilet.
