Because the US is 19th, which is not bad at all. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/wb_government_effectiveness/ https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/wb_government_effe... Is it the military? Is that part of government spending, in your opinion? Because it's definitely not the FAA, or the FDA, or that agency that is supposed to oversee the housing market, or the IRS. Any agency that is supposed to make sure that the consumers are not put in danger by reckless money-makers is at a constant risk of being castrated, especially with Republicans in the control room.
