It is also true as your boss said, the only thing we have close to eternal life on earth is a government program. Once in place, it is very difficult to repeal or eliminate the program. Davids work, rachels work document evaluated programs and though i wouldnt say the logical conclusion is eliminate everything, it is true when subjected to rigorous evaluation methodology, programs not having intended impact, enormous room for improvement. Every president until the 80s had the authority to organize the government and it is high time we reempower administrations with that authority because it is so hard to do it otherwise.
