"Replace government with large, complex organization. There is litle difference. I've worked in government and large companies, and they are pretty much the same." I don't agree at all. Big corporations can fail to do many things where it's not really important, so it might seem like 'failure' but mostly it's a function of market conditions. Other big failures (say Boeing 777) are understandable due to complexity. Very few groups on earth can build such airplanes. Anyone can build a gun registry. I loathe how long it takes my bank teller to speak to me, but my banking services are in the end, amazingly cheap for what they provide. Governments do a reasonable job at things like contract allocation for road maintenance, some kinds of construction, but they generally do a bad job operationalizing anything.
