Sure.
My econ prof use to say the two basic problems in economics are perfect information and distribution of goods and services. In this example, with something closer to 'perfect information' a consumer can switch to a different company that provides better value or respect for time.
To extend that to government, as you have, I would say that the single major problem in government is the thousands of roadblocks to good information.

Now, I will allow you to gripe if I misconstrue your meaning, and I will also not proceed onto the rest of that post until we agree upon your meaning up to this point.
But, it seems to me, you are saying we need a centralized database. Regardless of the reason for the roadblocks to information, you agree they exist, and they should be eliminated. Correct?
Ok, I agree that such a centralized database would be good for government.
However, it is very very likely to be harmful to individual liberty.
Which would lead one to ask, what is the role of government? To protect liberty, or to be expert at governing? |
