Bear in mind, our government's division of powers and default state-level sovereignty produce a lot of gridlock by design, not by accident. Partisanship magnifies that.
- maxxxxx 9y agoGridlock by design maybe, but you still have a big government costing a lot of money without efficient management. Best example is healthcare. The US spends far more per capital than any other country without adequate results. Same for infrastructure. There was an article a few weeks ago describing how expensive building is compared to other countries. The result is always a lot of fingerpointing but no effort finding solutions.
- Armisael16 9y agoThat article was about construction in NYC, not the country writ large. Much of the US population would disagree with your definition of ‘adequate results’ for healthcare. If everyone was in agreement we’d have something up relatively quickly. There’s more to the world than the articles you see on HN.
