> is ever possible in a government that is rife with dysfunction, graft and bewildering inefficiencies at every level. This is a fair point, but I think we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the presence of a significant group of politicians in congress who have made their entire careers out of sabotaging government programs. Remember, Republicans have tried to repeal Obamacare at every turn, even taking it to the Supreme Court - twice. So to say the system can never work because it hasn't worked is confusing the cause for the effect, it seems.
