Where I see the government going wrong is in subsidizing so many second and third world countries where the food and humanitarian supplies are given to a very select few and the money gets funneled into a few government official's bank accounts. The US is over $1,000,000,000 in debt to several other countries, much of that being spent propping up petty dictators and corrupt governments. If those funds were used to pay off the national debt or rebuild our own infrastructure instead, the US would be much better off in the long run.
