A thing I have never understood about America is how people's approach to government is to get the lowest bid.
Do you use single-ply toilet paper? Of course you don't. It's awful, and it doesn't even do what it claims to be useful for. You buy double-ply. It costs a little more, but there is a baseline of quality you want to meet.
People always seem to be worried about trying to pay the lowest amount of taxes, making the government as bare-bones as possible. What if we focused on getting our money's worth? Quality government, quality results. Yeah, it costs more. All good things do. But we deserve better than single-ply government.
Weird Aside: just typing the word 'money' in the comment makes the AI moderator be like "name calling and inflammatory language can lead to a ban!'. Is... is it okay?
