In pork I trust
I just came across this quote in another thread:
Now, that might have been said with a bit of tongue in cheek (or maybe not), but either way, there's a lot of sentiment out there like that, and it's mostly coming from people who have first-hand experience of the matter at hand ie. they live in the U.S.
So why is the U.S. government so inefficient?
Is it just because the U.S. is such a large country, and so it's harder to administer as efficiently as smaller countries?
Or is the problem with the U.S. government itself? Does any of the fault lie with the way it is structured? (ie. 3 branches, etc.) Or is it the people? Bit of both?
Could it be made efficient? What would have to be done?
I will start to worry when the same organization that runs the DMV runs health care.
