"Government doesn't work".
It doesn't matter whether it was local, state, or federal level really. It's just the nature of government. As Mike Barnett eloquently said:
"Anyway, I'm sure there's been human error in this catastrophe. How could there not be? But what I'm saying is that I've come to expect poor decision making and a total lack of initiative from government. They can't even balance a budget, at the federal, state, or local levels. I could balance my checkbook and spend within my means when I was a teenager. But I'm not gonna point fingers and get into the blame game. If you want me to blame something besides the storm herself, I blame the nature of government in the first place. It's too big, it's too slow, it's too inefficient, it's too bloated, and it's too intiative-stifling to be effective in normal circumstances, much less in a disaster. It's a systemic issue, more than an issue of individual people in government."
Honestly a lot of the credibility you might otherwise have goes out the window when you start off with name-calling. That's my opinion, at least.
