Right, red tape is a problem, I also hate red tape. And yet, there are things that government does better than the private sector.
I'm not into something like "Nuclear Weapons International, Inc. "
The private sector is extremely short sighted, and, worse, ethically ambiguous. We have the EPA because the Cuyahoga River caught fire, Love Canal was a community built on a hazardous waste dump and too many other bad practices to name ... only a few of them originating in the public sector. The same logic applies to the SEC, CPSC, and a hundred other agencies and oversight bureaus and commissions. Whining seems to happen when things are actually going well, on the assumption that will continue in that fashion without the oversight.
Not a chance.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
