[quote=Billcat;423968 And, there are some things the government does well. Highways, universal public education, public libraries, as well as public health initiaitves such as sewage and sanitation, clean water, safe foods, etc. Indeed, a great deal of the improved quality and length of life we enjoy today result from these same public health initiatives. Is government perfect? Of course not (no human system is or ever will be), but certainly some very valuable outcomes.[/quote]

We are not getting full value for our tax dollars no matter how you slice it. These things may have begun with the best of intentions but far too often they go off the rails. For example, our public schools, by and large, are a disaster.
