"Unfortunately some of the things we need a government for involve big technology projects. Unless you think the government should still be using pen and paper to administer everything."
The fact that they are very good at throwing money away but not very good at delivering we have probably gone too far. Considering a lot of complaints against government projects is the gov and civil service not knowing what they want or how things work then there is an argument that if they are competent enough to handle a pen the right way around that might be their level of technological capability. And not reinventing the wheel constantly might also help.
