Presumably (I'll take your word for it) the system is good. You realize that when people are trying to cut government they aren't specifically aiming to chop off what is good, and leave all the bad stuff. Quite the opposite. But then again and again you defend the bad stuff by arguing for the good and/or necessary. "We had to defeat Hitler", or "disaster planning" doesn't support huge interventionist bureaucracies, crony capitalism, the war on drugs, etc.
