Just in the recent past we have learned that the Secret Service has had multiple lapses in securing the life of the President. This is their highest priority mission.
On multiple occasions there have been individuals jump the White House fence and enter the compound without clearance. The second man actually entered the East Room of the mansion, where Presidents often hold ceremonies and deliver speeches.
In Atlanta, at the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and armed security guard from the CDC contracted security agency rode in the same elevator with the president. This was a violation of SS protection protocol.
The IRS routinely pays tax refunds to people who are not entitled to one. Recent estimates say this amounts to billions of dollars per year.
Medicare and Medicaid fraud annually is very high, and is routinely the subject of campaign promises of candidates for congress and the Oval Office.
TSA agents are often discovered as not stopping bombs that are actually tests to see how proficient they are at stopping bombs. At the same time they frequently are criticized for stopping small children, elderly, handicapped, and even military personnel for extra scrutiny at airports.
We all know about the lack of security provide State Department personnel in Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservatives, the Department of Justice spying on members of the press, and the VA hospital scandal.
We also know that many "green" projects funded by the federal government have collapsed into bankruptcy.
High tax rates, excessive regulation, and arbitrary enforcement of laws all lead to a poor economy, while education declines.
Somebody tell me please, what does this government do to deserve our trust and support?
