Seriously, good point. But remember the reason the gov't gave money to the survivors of 9-11 victims is that, theoretically, those folks died 'in the act of war.'
But overall, yes, the gov't spends a lot of money in the form of corporate tax breaks, purposeless military spending (how much do they spend on a stapler, again?), and overpaid politicos. If the country (the hoi polloi) pushed for better priorities, we could have a great health care and public ed. system.
