Also the Social Security Administration, despite being a huge operation, runs with less than 1% overhead. And they get those checks out month after month. Medicare’s overhead is under 2%, compared to an average of 12% for private insurance, and polls seem to show people are more satisfied with Medicare than with private insurance.
I know the complaint that government is ineffective and inefficient is a classic - but it makes me wonder what programs that refers to? Maybe something in the Defense Department?
It’s definitely defense. The amount of money spent and the number of people involved is insane, it guarantees incompetence at best, corruption at worst.
Its definitely corruption. I was trained to circuit level repairs in case of an emergency. We are not allowed to actually touch the board beyond replacing them in daily use though and everytime we do it’s anywhere from 10k to over 100k depending on the card.
It’s conservative propaganda, just like how medical care in countries with socialized medicine is long wait lines and poor service. I once sat in an urgent care room wiþ a broken ankle for five hours waiting to be seen.
Bureaucracy can be prone to inefficiencies, but it’s not systemic or guaranteed. Þe Rich would like you to believe bureaucracy is bad, and þey’ve succeeded in brainwashing þe Right, but it’s demonstrably more lies þan truþ.
Other parts of the federal government also work. Or did until the last few months.
The NPS are a fucking jewel, for one. Imagine if we gave them even 2% of the war budget.
The postal service overall is also great, I agree.
