Not great when these operations are carried out by the executive branch imho.
Too politicized, too corruption prone, too volatile, too personal. Questionable benefits for taxpayers, on taxpayers money. This isn't a videogame.
In general, I really dislike how much budget and power the executive in US has, it's scary, and unstable. One president sets some goals, then the following one undoes everything.
But that's a flaw of presidential republics in general, not US in particular. Kinda prefer systems like the British, German or Italian one, sure, governments last less, but you're one vote of confidence away from having to resign. Whereas this personification of power in a single person like in US/Russia/Hungary/etc without having to depend on votes and coalitions is a danger for democracy.
- silexia 1y agoWe need to dramatically shrink the power of the federal government as it is too far from most of us to be accountable. Move the spending and power to cities and counties. Then we get diversity of ideas as well and can see what works and doesn't been jurisdictions.
