the "big, bad government and can't do right"?
Folks, it's an absolute fact of life: There is NOTHING that private industry can do that a governmental or quasi governmental (see: Post office) group cannot do slower, more expensively, with poorer quality and in a worse fashion. Governmental employees are actually viewed differently by economists bcause their motivations are completely different from private industry employees.
When the government takes over, the pace slows, the costs go up and the errors and defects skyrocket. It's a damn fact.
