13. Katy Tur led with the premise

That government doesn't work, a favorite trope of the right wingers.

If government did not work, planes would not be flying, people would not get their social security checks or medicare/Medicaid reimbursements, national parks would be destroyed by real estate developers, oil companies and who knows who else, the air your breeze and water your drink would be toxic, employees would be paid below minimum wages, be made to work in horrible conditions reminiscent of the 19 th century,
Crime would be rampant and epidemics would ravage the country.
