I didn't see the "not the present administration though" comment.
but we don't know or can predict what future administrations are. So we pay into the system thinking that we're going to get something out or from the system at some point in time. this is why I temper my amount of money I'm willing to contribute to any program because there is always the chance of a bungling or disagreeable administration.
but, something interesting you've extended the DHS/CPS to the federal level, when in fact it isn't federalized, but differs from state to state, city to city.
