Is there a way to quantify how much of the legislation that does get passed actually accomplishes its goals? I suspect there are many times congress approves spending money without creating the organizational structure to administer the effort.
Carney’s major projects office is an example of a project management administration operating almost like an additional branch of government operating between the legislature and the executive. This allows the executive to focus on operating government services, negotiating policy and relationships, and strategic planning.
Right? I think most of us know that government is bad (look at the Gallup data), but it’s hard to grasp just how bad it is.
Looking at the media, there’s a lot of alarmist messaging, but it’s usually about what the other side is doing, which feeds the division.
My hope is that by focusing on the structures and patterns I can create some sort of “undeniable” truths we can all agree on. We can’t fix a problem until we communally acknowledge there is a problem, and agree on what the problem is.
All the solutions I present, such as the GDA, are only proposals and suggestions based on my limited perspective and understanding. I’m trying to draw attention to the problems, and demonstrate that we can come up with solutions.
I believe we don’t have to accept a government that fails to serve its citizens.

Fantastic! Excellent analysis. I like the analogy of a patient and a panel of tests.
The performance of the government across the measured items is alarming.
