Oh, I absolutely agree. I guess the point I was trying to make in a round-about way is that if the government screws up the most minor things like this, and then offers us no recourse to fix it, we are going to be in huge trouble.

I have always said that I am baffled that our American Military is so good at fighting wars. It baffles me because, having been part of this system for 13 years, my husband and I witness daily how much they can screw up even the smallest thing. I’m glad they focus on the fighting, of course, but if most people could see what you have to go through if your pay gets messed up, or if they lose a piece of a personnel’s record, they would be nervous also.

If the government can't get your mail to you when you go to see them to pick it up, it stands to reason it shouldn't be involved when you can see your doctor. ArnoldCare or HillaryCare or any other variant of government-run health care is a solution in search of a problem. When every problem looks like a nail, you want to use a hammer. Government should be an answer of LAST resort to our problems.
