Unappreciated Government

As Governor Walker is taking a scythe to the state budget, it's important to keep in mind that the government plays a bigger role in our lives than we realize.  As this amusing NY Times article shows, people don't always realize that they benefit from government programs.

Government plays a role in our lives, like it or not.  The government plans & funds our programs and services, ensure that they're done properly, provides the infrastructure we all need-roads, sewers, etc. and to cut the capacity of the government to do those services will ultimately hurt ourselves in the long run.
