That's just a couple of the several programs that private industry either cannot provide or should not be trusted to provide on their own. Add in all the land management and other safety programs and you have a lot of money that is needed. None of these programs are used directly by us.
That's a good example.

I have personal experience with four of those and I concur. Those agencies affect the quality of your life far more than many realize.
