Amid hostility toward its allies, tariffs, and direct threats to Canada and Denmark over territory, the US is now begging other countries to provide US-ians with eggs.
The US Department of Agriculture is reaching out to other nations in a bid to lower egg prices with bird flu decimating US producton. Convicted felon Trump's insane and counter-productive trade policies and belligerence aren't helping matters.

It seems to be an article of faith, not just amongst conservatives, that our government is inefficient.

This perception is mostly fueled by endless talking points and personal anecdotes.

It is time to add some facts to the discussion. The Worldbank rates the US as 25th of 193 globally in Government Effectiness.

While that certainly leaves room for improvement until we would be as efficient as the Swiss (2nd), there is no reason to tear down the entire system.
