Governments actually have a role to play, I'm with you. Its just their role has been distorted by printed money. There are incentives to be more inefficient every year and also corruption from printed money.
I'm my experience, great people work in government. They are trying to do good things. But they don't realise that the problems can't be fixed in a rigged game. The problems they fix are on the surface but the root problem is the economic system.
