A Hoosier friend asked me the other day what s the most important thing to do to restore the confidence of people in the federal government. My response was that we have to make government accessible, responsive, and workable. The critics of government certainly have a point.
Government can be inefficient, inaccessible, and unaccountable.
It is not hard to understand why government, especially the federal government, is under attack. It is far from a perfect system. It can be difficult to understand, chaotic, slow, and frustrating. But I believe it is the best way for us to deal with our nation s challenges and problems. We live in a complicated country of vast size and remarkable diversity.
