We don't want to address the real issue that a democratic government of 350 million people is slow and ineffective, so we demand that private industry make up for the failings of our government.

I dont think it is unreasonable for the 22 trillion dollar a year, 250 year old institution of the US government to solve the problem of why it is denying welfare to its own citizens.

Or maybe the US government monopoly should be broken up into smaller governments to foster a spirit of competition in the marketplace if it can't meet the needs of its customers.

You mean state/local governments? Federalism? It's how the country started by as each decade passes we willingly cede more and more and more control to the horror of a central government our founders were set on avoiding. It's been nice to see some recent trends back towards states rights and downsizing the federal government - I hope for all of our sake the movement picks up steam.
