The narrative in the US is that the government is evil, incompetent, horrible. There are people that feel that the government watches you and follows you and takes your freedom. We are the government. I am a teacher. The government. My neighbors are police, firefighters, the government. My relatives are in the military, the government. I have friends that work in the post office, the DMV, all government. Why the hate? Why think your friends and neighbors are this horrible mess of humanity?
Let's not forget our success stories. The government planned and executed wins during World War I and II. The government made the goal and executed our mission to the Moon. The government has reduced poverty when it was a goal. We had the post office deliver mail two times a day. The government provides health care to seniors when NO company would do this. Social Security is a success story. Glass Stegal was a perfect regulation that stopped bank failures. The list can go on.
Does government make mistakes? Yes, people make mistakes. People are not perfect. Our government can change. We can change. We have power as we are the government.
