I guess it depends who you are dealing with.  VA? SS?  I saw a lot of incompetence on the part of State Department and Commerce Department.  But a lot of it comes from who is at the top of an organization and how often they interact with their own employees. Attitude starts at the top.  I had a director that thought everyone was out to get her, so that is what she preached to the employees.  I don't think it is necessarily a problem limited to the government, because it is so related to human nature.  If an organization developed a seige mentality (like I expect exists right now in VA), it's going to take a major overhaul to change it. 

It's like when FEMA was put under Homeland Security.  They felt they were under seige after Katrina.
