Once you implement a government program it's damn near impossible to get rid of it.

What's there to debate? It obviously has nothing to do with public popularity and everything to do with governments not handing over power once they take it, this is obviously the case, but you're stupid.

Are you aware of a concept called democracy? It's where the public controls their own government by way of popular vote. If the public doesn't like a particular policy then they can vote for politicians who promise to change it. If they don't do that then they support the policy. The reason government run health care never gets overturned once implemented is because people like it.
Fucking retard.

I refuse to accept that you're this stupid. It don't matter who the **** you vote for, rarely do they get rid of government programs, and rarely do government programs have a favorable rating. But yes, we still have the TSA because the vast majority of Americans love them, lol!

Yes, we have a TSA because the public loves not having planes fall out of the sky. If the public didn't like it then they could vote for politicians who promise to get rid of it. I can't believe you've never heard of the concept of democracy before.

You can't be serious. If people don't like something, they can get rid of it. That's what democracy is. Please locate a middle school civics textbook and open it up.
Yes, you cankeep saying that, but clearly it's not true. It should be true, but isn't. That's why government programs, when created, rarely get removed, despite the fact that most of them have unfavorable ratings. But yes, keep shouting "muh democracy" and we'll see if that changes anything.

Thinking the TSA is an annoyance is completely different from wanting to abolish it. We live in a democracy. In a democracy the people have to power to decide the policies of their government. They have the ultimate power. If the majority of the public wants to get rid of any government program, they can use that power to do so. When you acknowledge that these programs rarely get removed, you are conceding that the public likes them. Very good.

But see, you're wrong, you said we have these programs because people like them, but that's not true, nobody likes the TSA, nobody likes the Patriot Act, but they were created because an opportunity arose to increase the scope of government under the guise of safety. We also don't live in a Democracy where majority rules, so get that right.

Side note, here's the TSA in a nutshell:
