This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock (if there isn't a blackout) powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels (that's tells me what I can and can't see) to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like (That's why the weather forecast is usually wrong) using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (designed, built and launched...tremendously over budget). I watched this while eating breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. (The cereal I'm eating will probably soon be part of some recall because the Govt. food inspector failed to spot something as usual and the drugs will be found out to cause God knows what, all while the FDA knew about it even before they said they were safe to consume.)
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory. I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile (Toyota) and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation (I love dodging potholes and sitting in horrible traffic jams because of poorly thought out and maintained highways), possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency (which causes high gas prices because the EPA demands there to be about 400 different formulas), using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve bank (which rents money to the government, prints it at will and devalues the dollar on a daily basis) On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to send via the US Postal Service (God only knows if it will get there) and drop the kids off at the public school (which are failing at an astounding rate to educate children).
After work, I drive my NHTSA car (Toyota) back home on the DOT roads (pot holes), to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department (more likely the ADT sign in my yard stopped all the plundering).
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

So, the government can tell time, help me stay clean and keep my house from burning down. Nice work socialists.
