The overhead is absurd yes. There is work to be done. My problem though is the Democrats just want to raise the budget, which technically works but means setting a good 70% of the money on fire, and the GOP just wants to cut the hell out of the budget, as they're doing now, as if this will make the bureaucrats take lower salaries in the name of helping people, despite having never had that happen before. And all of this needs a solid, informed and rational discussion about how best to help people in need, which we cannot have because the narrative of this country seems to be locked in this mindset that the poor are the people who failed, the people who made dumb choices which apparently warrants a lifetime of check-to-check starvation, or in the most extreme cases people who have offended God or whatever and had their wealth taken from them. And that's not even going into the issues around everyone here being "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" and not wanting to tax the rich, because when they get rich, they don't want to be taxed. The whole thing is screwed, not even just in the Government but in the culture.
