Can you explain children who die due to social services inefficiencies ?  Why veteran care is so poor?  Why doctors can't pay their overhead if they took only Medicare patients?  How the IRS makes errors and destroys people's lives through Leon's, garnishings, etc?  If private corporations made these mistakes, heads would roll. And do. Government?  Not so much.[/quote]

I can say that FEWER children die, for any reason, now than at any other time in history. A lot of it is improved nutrition (WIC, food stamps), a lot of it is improved medical care (medicaid). Tax collection has ALWAYS been a source of potential corruption, and a source of great loss when abused. It is better regulated now than it ever has been.

Am I saying that everything is great and we should just leave it all alone and our work here is done? Hell no.

Are you saying that an institution that doesn't function at 100% effectiveness and perfection should be abolished, whether or not there is something better to replace it? Yeah, it kinda sounds like you are. [/quote]

I'm saying adding to it while acknowledging gross inefficiencies is completely irresponsible. A private corporation would soon go out of business with that model [/quote]

Really?  We didn't see many heads roll after the banking crisis, and when health insurers screw their insured, usually the result is that they lawyer up.[/quote]

Actually, they were bailed out, something 'tea baggers' did not support because there is no accountability. [/quote]

See. That's the problem. You guys are all about tough solutions when the results would blow up the world economy. A decade of voting for the guy who utterly destroyed the fiscal responsibility of the Clinton years? No problem! Two poorly conceived and unnecessary wars? Why not!  But once the results of the poor decisions of the politicians *you* brought to power come to fruition...then we get immature tantrums that every adult in the room knows will make a bad situation significantly worse.

No to TARP! No to bank bailouts! No to raising the debt ceiling!

The time to put on your big boy pants is *before* the roof is caving in. Not during.[/quote]
