[@Dynamo Frokane] Aw come on, got nothing new? I'm disappointed. :c Though I gotta admit, that post is so special, I almost want to learn about the evils of capitalism over the internet, and the most recent Micheal Moore movie coming to my local theater... [hider=I tried really hard to ignore this...I swear...I didn't want to write this.] I literally don't think that post could get any more troll bait to someone with the littlest of knowledge... EPA: This place has given out so many useless regulations, and has cost american tax payers a huge sum of money. Hell, I don't even think most liberals like this one because they don't 'do enough'. This is not a good standard of useful government. http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/environment/recycling/news.php?q=1446301398 http://humanevents.com/2013/09/24/the-epas-worse-than-useless-coal-regulations/ http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2014/10/epa-those-bee-killing-pesticides-theyre-pretty-useless-otherwise “Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — annual budget $8.5 billion: Their record of ignoring environmental damage and the health effects on humans from major events such as 9/11, the Exxon and Gulf oil spills to the worst case, Fukushima, is unparalleled. Rather than investigate and warn of real dangers, they have gone after farmers for dubious claims of water contamination, while treating milk spills as they should have treated oil spills. Even worse, the EPA has concluded that there is no law preventing it from doing “research” on Americans. A recent lawsuit over the EPA’s work with airborne pollutants will put this claim to the test in Federal court. Their illegal human experiments could break the Nuremberg Code (source: The Washington Times). “ FCC: Honestly this one is just funny to me...who in their literal right mind, think the FCC is a good thing...okay like 15 people...but fucking why? $388 Million, for censorship...seems a worthy investment. Do...Do I even need links for this one? FDA: From link already provided Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — annual budget $892 billion — This gargantuan structure includes the FDA, CDC and the National Institutes of Health among others. The FDA has its own annual budget of $4.5 billion. This agency has approved prescription and over-the-counter drugs that knowingly have killed hundreds of thousands of people annually, has increased irradiation of the food supply, and has covered up vaccine injuries, But if you want Big Pharma, you can get it from a vending machine, thanks to the FDA. No surprise, the FDA has ties to Monsanto and ties to Bayer. Now our food is being made and modified by the largest pesticide manufacturer, while any move to label GMO is shut down by the agency. The FDA has additionally approved AquaBounty’s GE Salmon despite a statement by The Center for Food Safety, that its “bad for the consumer, bad for the salmon industry, and bad for the environment.” Among other gems are dangerous animal feed additives, approving dangerous anti-viral drugs for infants, and policing food safety in foreign nations. As for the CDC, or Centers for Disease Creation and Proliferation as some natural medicine practitioners have coined the agency (budget $11 billion), they have encouraged vaccination to such an extent that some have questioned whether their mandated vaccine schedule is part of a compulsory sterilization program. (That's ignoring how many drugs that would be useful are shelved for very minimal risks. That they halt the progress of...)

This fucking place is going bankrupt, because emails exist. At one point the government was so desperate they wanted to TAX emails to fund the postal service...[/b] http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/doug-bandow/usps-going-postal-enormous-debt NASA: I actually thought liberals in general hated this one, but okay.

Yet five Department of Transportation “agencies with 6,000 employees administer over 100 separate programs with separate funding streams for highways, transit, rail, and safety functions.” US Congress: (Um...one of these things is not like the other things...) The thing...that's been run by “republicans” in the past 8 years? (I put quotations because frankly what exactly HAS been accomplished by these people?)

That was a lot of wasted time, but frankly I'll be damned if something so patently false liked that much...is something I let slip by...The government's many different programs and all their failings are quite a long list...And saying the internet was made by socialism...or even implying it hurts my soul... EDIT: TLDR: Since I know not a single person (including me or you) actually cares how much damage these places do, and only laugh because you made fun of fox news. (such a brave thing to do.) Granted, their fucking stupid. But seriously I'm worried THAT many people actually 100% agree and are completely uninformed with these places failures. MAYBE if you didn't mention the FCC, like it was a GOOD thing. (It's equal to like agreeing with SOPA.) Mentioning the fucking postal service to show the government's effectiveness, since it's one of the biggest failures. And the EPA. (TWICE!) I might of not even bothered... [/hider]
