One side of the aisle is disorganized and unwilling in most cases to buck the status quo. The other side sees any kind of public utility as stealing this resource from the private market where capitalists would a) derive a profit, and b) ensure efficient distribution and use of the resource through competition and market forces. So it is rare to see any sort of socialized program, resource, or utility in America even if it makes perfect sense, but, as in most cases, it is largely incompetence not evil intent.
