There's nothing special about the US government that makes it uniquely shit.
The difference here is that we have people like yourself: those who have zero faith in our government and as such act as double agents or saboteurs. When people such as yourself gain power in the legislator they "starve the beast". Meaning, purposefully deconstruct sections of our government such that they have justification for their ideological belief that our government doesn't work.
You guys work backwards. The foregone conclusion is that government programs never work, and then you develop convoluted strategies to prove that.
