Government is a lousy deliver system. It spends too much money to do simple things in a complex way. It creates ways to keep the bureaucrats alive and well. Have too few good people (in a sea of those waiting for them golden pensions) in order to get things done right.

Our friends in Europe are generally a good example of the failure of centralized socialistic governments feeding the citizens from a giant nipple. Nice to retire young, take long vacations etc but someone has to supply the milk coming through the nipple. No milk and the citizens scream and cry...Pity

Can't let it happen here. Cut the blubber and pay remainder fairly but on par with private industry. No more fox watching the chicken coup on contracts..(they got it so should I).

Get politicians to heck away from process. Many live in the beltway dream world

If technology was only built here, clean energy and solar energy only built here, the changes for a change would require innovation rather than put these values into the stockmarket and having the government purchase the "necessities".

In order to transform for the right, the people must have to remind the government to press the resent button. Not clean the spill and wait for the next, you have to clean the whole kitchen.
