RE: Name 5 Things the Government Does Well
Better than the private sector? Run programs for the common good that are not profitable but needed by people who fall on the wrong side of the usefulness bell curve.
"Does well" is not a particularly useful descriptor because it is up to someone's opinion as to what well means. Your definition of does well and my definition could be quite different from each other.
Government usefulness is a tricky subject because on one hand if people were all rational it would not be necessary at all. However many people refuse to work under a logical framework. Shrugs
You are the only one in the thread who tried to come up with something positive as an answer. Kinda funny. :D
Well the prompt was to name things the government does well. There are things. It's easy to list things governments fail at, but its not hard to reason logically to see why they exist.
That's true. Many services are necessary and would not be there without a government to fund them.
