I think you have a pretty naive and overly optimistic view of human organizations other than the US federal government. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In general very large organizations can be problematic. Very large organizations with massive (universal) scope are at even greater risk. Unfortunately, what's the alternative? We've tried devolving tasks back to private organizations and smaller governments. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. I find it interesting how so many people on both side of the "big government/smaller government" debate apparently don't have the word "sometimes" in their vocabulary.
