Channeling FDR on Public Works

"On the one hand, the public wants action. On the other, Americans are skeptical about government’s ability to solve problems. Congress can’t politically afford to ignore either of these concerns."

It seems to me that thinking Americans are skeptical about ineffective and inadequate governments ability to solve problems, not governments ability in general. There are some things that only government can do. After all, the American government is made up of Americans - brilliant, innovative and entrepreneurial Americans like the rest of us.

Fortunately for us the Obama administration is appointing people who come to their jobs with extraordinary intellects and "can do" attitudes. People who will put "protection" back into The Environmental Protection Agency, the needs of labor back to the Labor Department, justice back to the Justice Department and so on-the exact opposite of what we've had for the last 8 years.
