The government tries so hard to correct the shortcomings of the private sector; and in this sector the people are vulnerable, excluded, or ignored because the government is paying more attention to personal interests that on the needs of the people. In fact, millions of dollars for disaster relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina were squandered via the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during the time when people needed them most. According to the Seattle Times an estimated 900,000 applications were filed with invalid social security numbers, names and addresses (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2015). The government provides individuals with Medicaid and free services; and business owner’s subsidies such as property abatements, and corporate income tax credits and rebates. According to Chris Edwards (2009), the government spends more than $3.5 trillion a year providing subsidy programs to state and local governments, individuals, businesses, and nonprofit groups (para. 4). Therefore, special interests repeatedly accomplish their goal because of the subsidy programs offered by the government and lobbyists.
Most of them set up right on the White House steps to advocate their issues to convince policy makers to go alongside their conquests. One great example, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the organization select lawmakers who share the same belief - to protect women’s rights to choose to make the right private decision that could affect their future lives (Vote Smart, 2015). NARAL chose 80 government officials that believe in women’s rights. The goal is to guarantee that women make the right choice about abortion without government intervention. Therefore, special interests can succeed in perpetuating policies by performing the same steps done in Guyana; campaign for a new bill similar to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Bill (Nunes, & Delph, 1995).
