Best to know what they have to say to know how to plan one's own future. They aren't going to give away needed paint for your parents basement. Time to know what they are doing so one can determine where one improve one's situation. If one is interested, one might an opportunity to improve one's situation, take an avenue one is interested in. I personally like it for the information. The government isn't here to provide handouts. I want to know how they are protecting me from a nuclear tipped rocket from North Korea. That's for the people. I want to know how they are going to stop people who blow themselves from exercising that sick option. We could have more cameras on all streets like in London or have the freedom from 24/7 surveillance most have today. Personally, I like the fact that they are protecting the homeland so I don't have to worry about going out to eat or to the movies. I like to know what foreign officials are willing to say and take their measure. If they are hostile, it's good to know. If they are willing to trade and avoid conflict with our country and 'THE PEOPLE', great. If not, watch out.
What's in it for the people? Information of the world we live in and then it's up to us to determine what we want to do to insure our own success. Success isn't handed out, it's earned and it's best to know what roads are available. Opportunity is: for the people. When it comes down to it, it's one vs the rest of the world and we are only a blink in history. One doesn't have to pay any attention to anyone but hmmm, here we are in a chat room bloviating and living in a community, town, city, state, country and world. All are competing for their piece but basically, it's up to the individual. Might be best to know the rules and what those that are making them are thinking.
