Why is our U.S. government in financial trouble. Basically, my opinion, is that it’s too complicated, too many departments, and rules and regulations. It needs to be streamlined like most of the private sector has been doing the last few years. Companies have had to find more efficient, more accurate and faster ways to do business. By doing so most, the survivors, are now profitable or getting there.
I’d like to see our government do the same thing. Unfortunately, I had an experience this week that shows they aren’t streamlining and making things easier for us. As an example, a member of our family has a partially disabled child. Our government has a wonderful program where the Mom and Dad can higher someone, even a relative, to come into the home a few hours per week and help them with the child. Everything is good so far, and we are very blessed this program exists.
The area I think needs streamlining and cost savings could result is the application process to higher this helper. The helper/employee had to fill out *8* forms. The instructions and forms were about 1/4 inch thick, printed SINGLE sided. And, the instructions used some strange wording making it harder to complete all the forms.
Why *8* forms?
Why 1/4 inch of paper?
Why printed single sided?
Why unclear terms were used?
We are very lucky to live in America and have our wonderful freedom and programs to assist those in need. No need to get rid of the programs, just make them work efficiently and you’ll be amazed how much money and time could be saved.
Let’s stream line our government and our lives. Life wasn’t intended to be so complicated!
