Below are just a few examples found using a simple web search of news stories. In addition, read quotations by the founding fathers. They show problems and solutions. Makes one wonder why today's politicians never use them. There seem to be endless examples. Feel most people are aware of them. Debt, unreadable laws, infrastructure, fraud, waste, lies, secrets, crime and much more. As if this is not enough.
Another reason. Would the owner of a company never oversee the proper operation of his own company? The people own America, not the politicians or government agencies! Please start telling congress your the boss not them.

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.

Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, want to thank the taxpayers. But not for the normal stuff. For paying for things such as bodywash, sunscreen, dog vitamins and a digestive system "detox cleanse," all of which they billed the state for, according to records. Oh, and they've been sending staffers to pick up dry cleaning and "[daughter] Rachel McDonnell's newly hemmed pants." Six months into McDonnell's reign, he was apparently reprimanded for this very thing and asked to repay $300, which he did. But since then, nasal sprays and sleep-inducing "elixirs" have reportedly continued to show up on the state's tab. It's good to be king. Er, governor

A growing chorus on Capitol Hill is questioning whether U.S. intelligence agencies are farming out too much work to private contractors like Edward Snowden, the Booz Allen Hamilton systems analyst who has claimed credit leaking classified details about surveillance programs.

That means that – since Gallup started the poll in 1973 – no institution from a list of 16 has been trusted less than Congress is now, including: big business, the medical system, newspapers, television news, HMOs and banks.
The Gallup poll shows that just 10 percent of Americans say they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress, down three points from last year. That low level is relatively consistent between Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

Legal firms are boosting their staffs to help clients understand and comply with the Affordable Care Act, which goes into effect in 2014, The Wall Street Journal reports. Corporate clients spent $5.72 billion on legal advice for regulatory issues last year, and spending on those services -- which include health care regulations -- is slated to jump to $6 billion in 2013.
"The more they tinker with the federal regulations, the more work we have," Les Johnson, a partner who specializes in Medicare appeals at law firm Liles Parker, told the newspaper.

When a National Security Agency contractor revealed top-secret details this month on the government's collection of Americans' phone and Internet records, one select group of intelligence veterans breathed a sigh of relief.
Thomas Drake, William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe belong to a select fraternity: the NSA officials who paved the way.
For years, the three whistle-blowers had told anyone who would listen that the NSA collects huge swaths of communications data from U.S. citizens. They had spent decades in the top ranks of the agency, designing and managing the very data-collection systems they say have been turned against Americans. When they became convinced that fundamental constitutional rights were being violated, they complained first to their superiors, then to federal investigators, congressional oversight committees and, finally, to the news media.
To the intelligence community, the trio are villains who compromised what the government classifies as some of its most secret, crucial and successful initiatives. They have been investigated as criminals and forced to give up careers, reputations and friendships built over a lifetime.
