President Reagan: “Put the government in charge of something, and watch it fall apart.”

Now, this is fairly simple thinking, yet exceedingly unconventional in today’s America.

Anyone want to tell me what the government does well?

We have to give credit where credit is due. The government does keep the best military on the planet in fine working order, despite itself. It's not cheap, but it is at least effective. That post office thing was a raging success for a long time. You still can send letters in the mail and they get to where they are supposed to.

That's all I can think of. I'm sure there must be more. These things were invented by our founding fathers.

Waste, fraud, and abuse.
