Today's QOTD is what is the stupidest thing our government has ever done in your lifetime? Feel free to put on your tinfoil hat as long as you believe your conspiracy theory. Also check your partisanship at the door. This may get ugly, but I don't believe it could possibly be any uglier than the situation we currently find ourselves in.
My answer has to be the Bush/Gore election debacle. With modern technology we still can't vote in a way that takes advantage of technology? Really? I'm not sure how the rest of the world viewed that, but we should be embarrassed by it.

There are issues with technology, too.
Dumbest thing... Hmm...
I would have to say the way the Affordable Care Act ended up. Regardless of how you feel about the idea of public health care, I think it got compromised into uselessness. It does half as much for twice the cost.

Cash For Clunkers.
It solved nothing for the manufacturers (they were still victimized by the credit crisis), it destroyed the market for inexpensive used cars, and created the atmosphere for the unreasonably high used car prices now in the marketplace.
Worse yet, it took mostly viable cars off the road, which further reduced the ability for the most vulnerable socio-economic stratum of our population to buy vehicles. It also drove that business, which would previously have been cash buyers, to the seedy world of Buy Here Pay Here lots. While those lots have traditionally operated on a tacit agreement of "Sell, Repo, Repeat" with their typical cabal of credit criminal clientele, they then received a large influx of new customers who were suddenly unable to buy a (decent) car on cash for under $2,000. Those customers were entirely unprepared for the 24.99% pounding they were about to receive.
