The "fix" is out there (I'd be happy to elaborate on my
proposal if it would do any good) but nothing will ever
be done because of the general makeup of government and
the inherent lack of leadership.

A bunch of self-serving career politicians (mostly layers)
have proven themselves exceptionally adept at doing pretty
much nothing except throwing money at problems and getting
re-elected year after year.
