I do agree with your view that government in USA is pretty inefficient. Another problem with US government is that it is simply too large and has immense resources to waste on needless things.<p>I don&#x27;t remember who said it but the quote was &quot;when government officials have to pick between two work they chose the least productive one (because it is easier)&quot;. I am a libertarian and I see that a lot of people make fun of Bernie Sander&#x27;s free college but go to think of it US government has spend around $15B on war on drugs and around $74B on running prions a lot of this money can indeed go in into supporting education if it can not be returned to tax payers.
