Me: Is there anything you believe the US government does well?

@theunitofcaring: *looks at the roof and contemplates for about half a minute*

Me: …The longer the pause, the more libertarian the person.

M tells me the us government’s virtues is what it does poorly, which is put people’s ideas into action. People’s ideas are mostly bad, and if the government can’t carry them out, we’re protected from them

only problem is when the government carries out ideas in a way that’s even worse for us than what people want

Vaccination programs

Is that an answer to the original question? Because, like, universal polio vaccination in a country that hasn’t had any polio cases in nearly 40 years and a world in which there were 400 cases three years ago, all localized in three countries half a word away, seems a tad excessive, no?

TBH I’d rather have excessive than insufficient vaccination programs. If unnecessary polio vaccines even when it’s almost eradicated were the price of actually making progress against measles instead of having ideological hold-outs who stubbornly defend their right to expose others to lethal diseases, it’s a trade I’d gladly take.
