If you live your life as an American citizen or resident, you have the federal government to blame for the exceptionally high quality of life you lead. Perhaps it's because I'm informed and educated, but besides the DoD, I have nothing but good things to say about the current state of the executive and judicial branches, as well as federal agencies.

For a taste of the alternative, book airfare to Haiti, Somalia, or Venezuela.

> you have the federal government to blame for the exceptionally high quality of life you lead
