Government Can't Do Anything Right
It's easy to say ... if you don't consider these:
The following endeavors are discussed in the book, Government's Greatest
Achievements: Civil Rights to Homeland Security.
Rebuilt Europe After World War II
Expanded the Right to Vote
Promotes Equal Access to Public Accommodations
Works (successfully) To Reduce Disease
Reduced Workplace Discrimination
Ensures Safe Food and Drinking Water
Strengthed Our Nation's Highway Systems
Increased Older Americans' Access to Health Care (when Republicans are NOT in charge)
Balances Federal Budget (when Republicans are NOT in charge)
Promotes Financial Security in Retirement (which the GOP would love to destroy - after allowing Wall St to sucker Americans out of their retirement savings)
Improves Water Quality
Supports Veterans Readjustment and Training
Promotes Scientific and Technological Research (over the objections of Repubnicans)
Promotes and Protects Democracy
Improves Air Quality
Enhances Workplace Safety
Strengthens Our National Defense. A thought .... the only wars America have lost have been under Republican presidents - although Obama eventually will have to give up in Afghanistan. Note: Bush is the one who capitulated to the demands of the new Iraqi government and agreed to remove US troops by 2012
Reduces Hunger
Improves Nutrition
Increases Access to Post-Secondary Education
Enhances Consumer Protection
Expands Foreign Markets for US Goods
Increases the Stability of Financial Institutions and Markets (when Republicans are NOT in charge)
Increase Arms Control & Disarmament
Protects the Wilderness (except when, well, you already know...)
Promotes Space Exploration
The following endeavors are discussed in the book, Government's Greatest
Achievements: Civil Rights to Homeland Security.
