Government has become so big, so vast, so corrupt, it’s really incomprehensible. A streamlined efficient system would be as data/information is created it’s automatically put into the data based system, with the classified stuff being omitted with shelf dates where it can be transferred automatically into the public database if need be. Software can easily be created which could all do this very efficiently. One could simply sit at home on their PC and access needed information which have a right to.
There’s no money in that, so there is no free market solution. It’s a pie-in-the-sky dream.
