Agreed, but this is based on the seeming assumption that a government is of one mind in making decisions, which it never is. Good decisions of every flavor are proposed, debated, supported, and opposed with equal fervor and prejudice on all sides and by the time any conclusion is reached, whatever comes out is a comprimise, a weak glimmer of whatever world-changing suggestion was originally brought to the table.
