"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
-Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) November 11, 1947
"There is no such
thing as a free lunch."
- Milton Friedman, 1974
American government is government of, by and for the people.

how the government operates and what their roles in that government are.
Government can be no better than the people are willing to make it! And, while the system can be a complex one, it performs many
functions that affect your life.
