If we can’t implement the policies we make, we can’t govern.

“…One privilege the insured and well-off have is to excuse the terrible quality of services the government routinely delivers to the poor. Too often, the press ignores…the pain and trouble of interfacing with government bureaucracies that the poor struggle with daily.”

Ezra Klein, The Washington Post
