It is highly surprising that the narrative in the US has morphed the expenses on public institutions of enormous importance, into wastage, something that has to be cut or eliminated.

Why is it that no one is pointing out the contribution of these institutions to the US and the world?

The US, has a society, has grown so materialistic, that they fail to see anything beyond money.

Somethings cannot be measured by money. In fact, when it comes to public governance, money is the least useful thing.

> public institutions of enormous importance

A case of the baby getting thrown out with the bathwater, I suppose. And make no mistake: there was enough dirty bathwater to go around.

obviously, we need to drain the swamp to get rid of the dirty bathwater that we're now dumping there
