Until the government bites the bullet and cleans up the bureaucracy that hinders every single decision made by any government we never see any improvements. Elected officials come and go, but the mandarins live on in their own little fiefdoms that they will defend to the death. Until that mess gets cleaned up we always have kids dying of rotten water and over doses and homeless and disadvantaged.

Remember, for all of the money the elected officials earn, that amount is vastly overshadowed by what is wasted by the bureaucracy that no one seems able to touch.
