What has U.S. government done for the people it "represents" lately?

Question

Can you list 5 good policies of government at the national level that would make it appear they work for the people?
Think about it and tell us 5 things that you can say that the federal government is doing (or not doing) in terms of policy that you can say are right on target and they are doing the absolute right thing for the great majority of americans, Maybe one way to do this (not the only way) is to look at some laws that have been passed in the past say 8 years or so...or perhaps things involving trade, immigration, foreign policy, funding (or non funding) of certain programs.

Personally, I think the federal government to me acts like its pretty much at war with the great majority of americans. Nearly every law or policy seems to really be there to harm the american people, make their lives harder, get more into their private lives, take away their jobs, etc.....

Answer 1

I can't because there are none in the current administration except maybe their continued policy to give funds to the AIDs program in Africa.

They have destroyed old USA policies like no pre-emptive wars, no unilaterally invasions, no torturing POWs, etc...

Answer 2

Politicians work for the elite

the people just vote for fun

Answer 3

What have they done for me? I make less than 25k a year and my checks are bigger than they've ever been, so the tax cuts are working for me, and I'm not rich. Also, nobody I love has died in a terrorist attack since Sept. of 2001. Tens of millions of poor children have free health care (and Bush haters, he vetoed a bill ADDING children whose parents are not poor - those who are poor are still covered). Saddam is dead, so the entire world is safer. So, while certainly flawed, the government has done some good for me (and for you, though you'll never admit it).

Answer 4

You coulnd't of said it better in my opinion and you pretty much answered my question.

Answer 5

what the heck do you expect when you vote Democrats into Congress?

Answer 6

Whine, whine, whine, moan, moan, moan, b---ch, b---ch, b---ch!

Anarchy now! Bwaaaaa! ;)
