Too many Americans are too trusting in government. They think government is there to serve them, when it is often the least efficient, least accountable and most incompetent mechanism to do so.

Let me give you just one recent example. What would you say about a private company that allowed hackers access to 3.6 million Social Security numbers, 387,000 credit and debit card numbers, names and addresses, business taxpayer identification numbers and tax filing information?

You’d probably say that company should be fined millions of dollars. And, in all likelihood, it would be.
