Government is exceptionally competent at 95% of what they do...

Have you ever dealt with government?

I've had extensive dealings with Medicare and Medicaid services, IRS, SSA, and DOJ. Everyone knows what a mess military procurement is. Dept. of Education has been an absolute train wreck since its inception.

I can tell you that NOT ONE of these organizations, which represent the majority of government, functions with efficiency or competence.

I think you're talking out your ass, because anyone who has ever made their living in dealing with government knows just how stupid your remark is.


No, but I know first hand the abuses. Not only did my family have >5000 acres taken for a recreational lake but my wife used to practice eminent domain law.


Sure, there have been a few abuses. But they're pretty rare, and can generally be fixed in courts. Your wife should know this.
