The Forgotten Achievements of Government
"For many Americans, government is the Inspector Clouseau of institutions – bungling and inept. But the record shows this is not true."
Although conservatives portray government as incompetent, public sector programs have actually amassed an admirable record of success in a wide variety of policy areas.
One of the most persistent myths about American government is that it has a poor record of achievement. Conservatives and libertarians have constantly promoted the idea that government fails more often than it succeeds. They have been telling Americans for years that government is an incompetent institution that has achieved little of real value in society.
