Wow, imagine that, the bad column is mostly government and the good column is free market. And 40% of the people still want the government to run healthcare. Unbelievable.

Dennis, you credit a totally computerized company (netflix) for their efficiency and then compliment a company, that handles billions of dollars for their customers, for having to hunt down an individual to handle a routine transaction. The complacency in government service results from the knowlege that any problems can be handed off to another department or settled after the fact, when things blow over. The present administration needs a crisis to utilize for results. Now, I hear the H1NI "crisis" is losing its focus and I'm sure some new "crisis" will come up. While the looting of the treasury will continue behind closed doors. In my city, 3 Somalis were gunned down by 2 other Somalies and our system needs to deal with a spokesman for the community. The same community that exported 20 terrorists back to the old country. Did I mention that Minneapolis is a "sanctuary" city? Welcome to the land of milk and honey.

From a progressive movement that blamed society; the system; or by repeating the mantra “there but by the grace of God go I” to excuse an individual’s lack of responsibility to now question why we are having problems is a movement in the right direction.
