"Things government is great at:
-Running public schools -Running public transport -Running public utilities -Running public radio and TV -Running Amtrak -Running Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac -Running it own budget -Running the military -Running Heatlhcare.gov -Running the Postal Service -Running Social Security -Running Air Traffic Control
...and this is just in the United States. You should see countries where everything (or nearly everything) is government-run. I've been trying to immigrate from the US to Cuba, Venezuela, Laos, China, or North Korea for decades! It's absolutely paradise to be in a place where evil private corporations are not in control. It's been shown time and again that the government is the best at solving problems.
Just imagine how great Germany would have been if all of it would have been taken over by East Germany?
Sure, government run everything is not always perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than the opposite."
...SAID NO ONE. EVER.
