"This morning I was awakened by my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC-regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of food inspected by the US Department of Agriculture and taking the drugs that have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
It soon became time to leave so that I would arrive at work at the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory. On my way out the door I deposited my mail to be sent out via the US Postal Service and rounded up the kids to be dropped off at the local public school. We got into my automobile approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and set out on the roads built by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank.
After work, I drove my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, returning to a house that has not burned down in my absence due to the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local Police Department.
I then logged on to the internet, which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration, and post on various forums about how socialism in medicine is bad because the government can't do anything right."
