So i'm cynical and paranoid about big government/fed o.o? is that normal?

lol wow you and the rest of the world at this point. is it normal.... to an extent. they do serve a purpose and many people wonder what they do exactly. government agencies do serve a purpose even when they fall flat on their faces. FEMA is a great concept but when we needed them most they screwed up. FDA is a consistent organization that is a need for the public interest if not we would all be test subjects for drug manufactures. i'm not saying all programs and actions are needed just that many are. but if you really want to know what else some programs do they employ people.
