Is the government spying on schizophrenics enough?

A skit from 17 YEARS AGO on The Onion about exactly what is happening here.
Hym "Is the government spying on schizophrenics enough? It's entirely manufactured illness so... Yes? They are like Nurse Rachet or Mother Teresa. Creating the illness so that they can use a cure that they know will not be effective for anything other than restricting the rights of the populous, selectively and arbitrarily, or instrumentally as a way to silence dissidents. Which has already happened in other countries. Like China."

Government work

“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.

When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.
Worker 1: What’s that? It doesn’t look like any of our usual products.
Worker 2: I can’t tell you, It’s government work.
Worker 1: It looks like a part for your new motorcycle.
Worker 2: I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.
~~~~~~
Worker 1: That part you’re working on will never pass inspection.
Worker 2: Doesn’t matter, it’s government work.

government job

Unofficial task done in the workplace. Common abbreviation: G-job. Origin: during WWII, some sensitive tasks were given directly to a worker, and his supervisor might not be authorized to know exactly what it was. Thus the response when the supervisor questions what appears to be personal work done on company time: "it's government work."
Hey Tim, you're not scheduled to be running the lathe today, what are you working on? Just a little "government job".
