Roads? Most roads in US are built with a coefficient of friction that is too low. The result? Many unnecessary deaths and accidents. The thing is, the governments don't build the roads - they fund the building of them. Then, they don't enforce the applicable standards to make sure they're built well. German government does much better at this. This comes down to competence.

Police? Baltimore is losing people left and right for decades now because they can't meet basic security needs. Again, this is basic competence.

Education? Are you kidding? Why is it that "good schools" is one of the top reasons to move to an area? It's because parents have little or no impact on schools and there's no accountability. If your local school is incompetent, then you can either move, homeschool, or somehow get your kids into private school. It's a disgrace.

Our Interstate System is what fueled out economy and is the main reason why our economy is the largest in the world. That was 100% Federally funded

Our crime rates are WAY Down over the past 40 years and probably is the lowest it has ever been. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/21/5-facts-abou...

Also my son gets pulled over for DWB (Driving While Black) about once a month. There are absolutely racist and abusive police but it is finally getting exposed.

I'm sure the solution to a bad school is not helicopter parents blaming the teachers for their child's issues. The rest of your examples are pretty on point though
