    Why on earth would we want the government funding and running things, that would be a nightmare. Government is far too big as it is now.

      I’ll take competency issues over greed and harm anytime.

        I’m sorry to say, but all of three often occur with government as well.

          By some groups moreso than others.

          I tend to see greed cause harm a lot more often than incompetence.

      To be fair, I come from a country where we have free healthcare, free education up to college level (we only pay when taking masters or things like that, after finishing our chosen career. Our most know public university is pretty top notch if we talk about content and education quality. And our healthcare is pretty good too, although there is also private healthcare and education. In the education department, at least to my knowledge, there is not really a difference. The USA is not big. It spends a lot on defense (which usually use to wage innecesary wars or disrupt other governments) and maybe too much in mantaining this horrible two party system you’ve got. That said, my country’s economy is in very bad shape (Argentina has inflation rates that are sky high).
