Of the two readings, I chose “The Tyranny of the Nanny State.” I chose it because, on average, I think the federal government does an okay job. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything they do, but I think that if they weren’t there we’d be in trouble. This article made a lot of good points of where the federal government has overreached. I agree- there are points where the federal government has unnecessarily gotten involved in situations like this article brings up with the arrests of parents for “child negligence”. But, I think people neglect to consider all of the good they do. In general, I believe that the federal government does its job to the best of its ability. Should it be the be-all, end-all for our everyday decisions? No. But for its true purpose, to unify our country with an overarching set of rules? I think it does okay.
