UPSP never had any issues. Sending a letter across the country for 44 cents seems pretty reasonable to me.
IRS. I pay my taxes and have never had any issues with them. I have heard of abuses though and that does need to be dealt with.
DMV. Just wen to get my registrations on the 30th. Took 20min or so. Lots of people there since it was the end of the month. I thought I would be there for at least an hour (brought a book) and I was not even able to complete a chapter. Lady was really nice and the whole transaction took all of 5 min. Never have had an issue with them either but maybe I'm just lucky that way.
FDA is a joke. I think a strong argument could be made that the FDA runs a pay to play enterprise.
You have missed a few other government programs such as law enforcement, education, safety services such as police, animal control, CPS and other government programs such as the military.
I am still waiting for reform ideas other than the ones presented so far. I gave my idea in a previous thread Or it might have been in this one. The existing system does not work. It is an abysmal failure. The insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies are making a killing off of us. The current system is broken. The republicans had 6 years to make changes. They chose not too. the previously mentioned companies have had decades to change. They chose not to. Now the dems are in charge (at least for two more years but probably more given the state of the RNC) and they are seeking to make changes. I do not agree with all the changes but it's a start.
Unfortunately the people of this country are short sighted, greedy and selfish. Why worry about public transportation ... gas is cheap. Why worry about clean air or clean water? Why worry about anything in the future when everything right now is hunky doory. Well, now we need public transportation and the cost of starting up a new system is phenomenally expensive. But if we do not start now it will be even more expensive later on. Overhauling our health care will be phenomenally expensive. How ever in my opinion, it will be far more costly the longer we wait.
As with most things. Pay now or pay morel later. Not sure why people cannot figure this out.
he other thing that bugs me is the disingenuous arguments/scare tactics/misdirection/out and out lies being used by both sides to promote their goals. I cannot help but wonder if there is some sort of genetic mutation that cause politicians/CEO's/corporations to lie through their teeth.
