It's not a bug, it's a feature

Decentralization is what most of the founding fathers wished for. It is indeed a feature, and one we must all be vigilant of.

Yes but it's also the primary source of a lot of government waste (the same type of waste the conservatives are against).

I think it makes sense to separate local, state, and federal governments, but there's surprisingly little government data sharing between even federal government agencies, even when there's jurisdiction overlap.
