Is government the problem, or the solution?

Having seen how civil servants work, or rather fail to, it is clear that they are lazy, stupid and a dead weight on society.  Consider this little gem from your progressive paradise.  Apparently it was easier to ignore the problem than to deal with it.  Anyone want to bet this would not have gone on for three years in the private sector.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
