But it doesn't have to be that way... obviously, bureaucracy has its plusses and minuses, and in its present state, the federal, state, and local governments screw things up, but it doesn't have to be that way...

But it IS that way. Why continue to throw money at it when it will be wasted?

Even if your ideal could be true that government wouldn't be terribly inefficient, to fix it you'd have to tear down all of those programs and build them back "correctly"? Get rid of all of the pork and start from scratch?

IMO the pork would come back, but either way you need to stop funding the broken programs. Give that extra $300 to a soup kitchen instead.
