Can anyone tell me anything the US Government does efficiently

[carolina73]

No, the one who keeps the airways free of interference by our own Americans and outside countries. If there were no FCC, all communications in this country would be in shambles including emergency service frequencies.

Oh. So that is who you work for. The group you call efficient is the one that tells Americans that they cannot do something unless the pay them for the right to speak. LOL

Wrong again. Keep trying, perhaps you'll get it right someday.

Medicare or Medicaid for all would put our healthcare in the habds of the largest money wasting scheme ever developed, called the US Government.

The VA is terrible and has turned to the private sector to avoid it.
The military (although great) is hugely wasteful while spending more than the rest of the world combined.
Medicare and Social Security are ponzi schemes. They are insolvent without the flow of future funds to pay for current and promised benefits.
Public schools need no commentary.

So when they scream Medicare for all then are they just saying "government waste and inefficiency" for all?

Sitting here in my hospital bed I can assure you your comments regarding the BA are bull$#@!.

The VA level of care has consistently outscored that of private systems. What problems 5he VA faces are due to an influx of patients and a decrease in per person care.

The VA has never been known for excellent care.

Anything related to waging war. They're pretty good at what they want to be. The things they suck at, they don't care about or are intentionally sandbagging.

People running for office generally try to run on making government more efficient. Government grows, taxes and spends with impressive efficiency.

Then when people get fed up and pass initiatives which restrict their ability to tax and spend, they turn to the courts to overturn the will of the people with even greater efficiency.

If 'efficiency' bothers you, then surely the skimming of billions in the 'for profit' healthcare system must keep you awake at night.

Same net effect.

USPS. Mailbox broken into, mail on hold till fixed--weeks now, must go to post office and wait in line 30-40 minutes to pick up mail. Yea, this is why we pay taxes.

Taxes have absolutely nothing to do with USPS. Maybe you should have fixed your box weeks ago?

He's not talking about his personal mail box. He's talking about official USPS drop boxes.

[John Galt]

He 'picks up' his mail at a drop box? That's different. Still, taxpayer money neither supplies, nor fixes anything related to the USPS.
