okie dokie.
The government routinely fails at it's 'job'.

no. that's rightwingnut spew. it does most things well. and certainly better than the private sector in many areas.
but you've been well trained. again, proving my point.
Wow, I should save your comment as a sig......
Just a quick look found these cough... cough,,, accomplishments.
1. Pay entitlements – we do not seem to have a problem paying out unemployment, food stamps, or whatever. I suspect we’re probably too efficient in this regard.
2. Collect taxes – beyond income taxes, it’s amazing how the federal government picks our pocket, be it at the gas pump, tobacco, etc. Even business taxes are ultimately passed on to consumers through increased prices.
3. Enforce taxes – The IRS is certainly a force to be reckoned with. I’m told even the smallest IRS agent can rip a telephone book in two with his bare hands.
4. Operate our park system – I don’t think I have been in a federal park that wasn’t well maintained with courteous rangers.
5. Strong military – the smartest, best trained, and best equipped in the world.
6. Strong intelligence services – the NSA, FBI, CIA, et al. may not get it right all of the time, but thank God we’ve got them.
7. Print money – they may not know how to earn it or budget it, but they do a superlative job of printing it.
8. Pay foreign aid – I tend to believe we’re charitable to a fault, including those countries who undermine us.
