I'm not sure I would agree that no one except you has your best interests at heart. But, having spent all those years working for the government, I tend to agree that government doesn't do a good job of running and managing these things. It's not that anyone sets out to screw it up, but it becomes very easy to lose sight of what one originally set out to do. It's a buracracy, so it's not agile and change takes time. The people in the government get out of touch -- they don't always understand the details of the problem and they rarely agree on how to fix it, so you get a solution by committee. The government is at it's best in writing and proposing legislation and creating a framework for things to get done, and then letting someone else propose and implement a solution.
