SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT GET INVOLVED?

Do you know someone who thinks the government should be running health care and our banks? The next time you talk to them, read them the following list:

• Up to 12 different agencies are responsible for administering more than 35 food-safety laws.


• There are 541 clean air, water, and waste programs spread out over 29 agencies.


• 40 different programs aimed primarily at job training are administered by at least 7 different federal agencies.


• 50 different programs to aid the homeless are administered by at least 8 different federal agencies.


• 9 different agencies operate 27 teen-pregnancy programs and 11 agencies administer at least 90 early-childhood programs.

These are just a few government-run programs. I'm sure you could think of some yourself.
