About government, that is. Check out his Forbes.com piece, "Our Government, For Better Or Worse." Here's his thesis:
Ever since I came into contact with government, both state and federal, and especially in the four decades since first going to work in it, I've been struck by the gap between what many Americans expect of government and what it's actually good at doing.
And the heart of his argument:
Government, in short, has enormous difficulty fulfilling its current responsibilities, coordinating its various parts and accomplishing its present objectives. You don't have to romanticize the private sector's competence to harbor serious doubts that giving government even more duties is a formula for disappointment.
