Read the following.

A former official with the U.S. Treasury, Peter Fisher, once called the U.S. government “a gigantic insurance company.” This is because more than two-thirds of federal government spending goes toward programs set up to protect people from losses. The government provides a payment program for workers and in return promises to help pay for certain losses during some kinds of emergencies. In the United States, workers pay the federal government a certain percent of taxes, and the money is put into giant funds. The citizens can then turn to these programs for financial help when it is needed.
