let's add to that list, shall we?
today more people are getting from the government than giving
today more people do not speak english than ever before
(40 years ago, to be a citizen you had to pass a test in English, now you get an interpreter for the ceremony0
these are not things intended to protect the citizen...
never mind that we have incredible unemployment because our government chose to guarantee loans (fannie mae and freddie mac) and then order those organizations to take on more and 30% failure risk rates... but to NOT guarantee anything in the way of business loans, so when insurance companies saw this, they bought the loans, and were bailed out when it failed but companies that were providing money to businesses (like CIT) were told to "go stuff yourself"... no, the US government is NOT looking out for the citizen...
