> Government spending on bureaus like the FDA, EPA, and BBB give consumers and citizens access to outlets for complaints against dirty businesses and give us a decent amount of protection against those who would harm us to gain more of those dollars you think they'd rather have in their own pocket.
Well, that's clearly not the case for the BBB (which is a private nonprofit), unless you are counting granting tax exempt status to an organization as a form of "government spending". I tend to agree with regard to the FDA and EPA, most of the time, but its not exactly a non-controversial claim and regulatory capture is always a concern.
