    Too many commas (after monster....into,) and Government should be capitalized.  For starters.  Just a brief glance. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at January 10, 2018 7:01 AM MST

    Government is not a proper name and thus need not be capitalized.

    There's no comma after "monster", and "government" is correctly lowercase. The second comma is incorrect.

    Who the hell said there was a comma after monster anyway?

    It's obvious...US Government, amongst the other aforementioned ones above. This post was edited by Element 99 at January 10, 2018 7:26 AM MST

    The comma after "into" should be removed.

  • I disagree that "government" should be capitalized. "U.S. government" is not a proper name. 

    The only error is that the comma after "into" should be removed.

    You are absolutely correct on both counts.

    As SpunkySenior said, the comma after "into" should be removed.

    "Government" should remain lower case. Had you said "US Federal Government," I would assume you would have capitalized the first letter of "government as well."

    Edit: as Nevan B has pointed out. 

    (And my assumption is based on the fact that you claim to be an expert in these areas---just like me.)

    Just one error - no comma needed after into.
