I can tell you that I have worked for a couple of federal government agencies and that there is plenty of ineptitude. I honestly can say that at one agency, there was easily 70-80% of it's employees that went out of their way to not be as accurate as they could be or at the very least, did not do things to a minimal standard.
Is that indicative of the whole system. Maybe not, but it would be hard to believe that a certain part of the government has found all the best (moral) citizens.
I, like you John, don't understand why the same people trust everything out of their government, and then don't trust anything out of their government. All the same people that opposed a Bush war agenda now support Obama and his war agenda.
