I am a big fan of the NPS. And the NSF. I think the EPA does some really important work. I may mock OSHA’s required videos and think they are horribly overworked but the mission is one I agree with.
I’m sure there are others, but the caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet.

Social Security? The VA? Back in the day the WPA wasn’t the worst thing that ever happened either (though a lot of people pitched a fit over it then). That NPS is one of my favorites. What about the public schools? Highway Departments?
Wingnuts are not so bright are they?

Defense, social security, medicare, EPA, OSHA, medicade, child nutrition, Transportation, FDA and Education is ten right there. You could add the Federal Reserve, FDIC, VA, Post Office, Amtrack, among others.

re: #2 A Mom Anon
I wouldn’t pick the VA considering their horrible backlog of medical benefit claims as of late. Over a million and counting? Wtf! And they’re only now talking about computerizing claims.
By 2014.
Really.
And its not like they’ve had their budgets slashed over the last few years like other government agencies. If anything, they’ve had more money to work with. This is just plain administrative incompetence.
Then again, the VA management had been denied bonus pay. Whoop-dee-doo! Somebody finally got around to slapping these stooges on the wrist.
As for programs I do like…
I’m in such a bad mood that I can’t think of any. I need to unplug for awhile.
