If you can't depend on the Feds try your local Gov.

The Feds have interest in the corporations so we can't depend on them! But the state, county and city Gov. has local interest. Be more supportive of your local Gov. and hold your faith in them as they to have to live in the same area. Support school Levy's or silo taxes, local tax increases, and programs! Those programs have a greater impact on you directly rather than any Federal program. Keep your local infrastructure intact and you will fare allot better in these times then you would if you leave it up to the Feds. Remember the cause for the local Gov. is to grow your area. "With Growth comes prosperity!"
