> Is the money better in the hands of a super overgrown and overstaffed organisation like the US government

This is the municipal government complaining. Municipal governments are in charge of education, local police, and water supply... to name a few things.

The federal government barely does much at the local level. The USA is a very decentralized system.

So how about you at least complain about the right thing? If Cupertino's municipal police forces were locking people up unnecessarily or were an ineffective municipal government, that'd actually be relevant to the topic. But methinks you're just ranting about unrelated subjects.
