Government at work - Americans with Disabilities Act
I saw this article some time ago.
It strikes me as a good example of government "fixing" things.
I feel safe posting it because I doubt anything has changed since then...

"Complicated laws like the ADA eventually hurt the people they were meant to help. The ADA has led many employers to avoid the disabled. One poll found that since the ADA was passed, the percentage of disabled men who were employed dropped. 'Once you hire them, you can never fire them. They are lawsuit bombs,' one employer said. 'So we just tell them the job has been filled.'"
