You are misrepresenting the R's position. It's not that government can do nothing right, it's that government does things less efficiently than private enterprise.


Coincidentally this view seems to be held most strongly by those actively trying to prevent the government from functioning efficiently (or at all).

It's like purchasing a car, never doing any maintenance, and then when it dies saying: "whelp, all Fords are shit! I should have bought a Chevy"


The irony there is that his post ranted about people not being swayed by facts while misrepresenting an easy-to-understand fact for anyone not grinding some biased political axe.
