Saying, "private industry does a better job in BUSINES than the Gov" is an absolute.
Other than SpaceX please point out an industry that is better that has a significant impact on citizens' lives. I will start with a negative. The healthcare system has descended from 1 place in the world to 17th place in the world while charging us 2 to 3 times as many countries with government-provided single-payer healthcare systems.
SpaceX is an excellent example of a positive, but the good it does to citizens is very indirect but coming (internet, etc). Bezo's Blue Origin provides entertainment for the rich, that is about all I can see. But, I guess everyone needs to be entertained.
I agree completely that there are many areas of our government that are highly inefficient (Boeing sucking on the government tit is one) But, rather than tear it all down, I suggest we fix the government by firing all the politicians owns by the big companies that are destroying our country - fossil fuels, healthcare/big pharma, big food, etc.
