    Not sure about everyone else, but when I first opened the page, I see a background image of a kid in ice skates, face-planted on a frozen pond — and, below the question What can America do for you?, the prefilled text in the search box says Try 'How can I invest in my child's future?'.

    And I'll be damned if that doesn't sum up the last 10–12 years.

      "How do I replace my social security card" with the guy metal detecting the beach, ostensibly searching for it, is pretty great too.

        “Which military service is best for me” and “I’m a veteran how do I get care?” being on the same carousel is putting the truth nicely together.
