The author states openly that he has no desire to talk about the problem of natural Monopolys or the governments immense need to regulate them, primary because the industry itself feels that it "would be better off un-regulated'.
I'm sure criminals feel that the industrys they Rob from, and feel they would be best suited unregulated by law enforcement.
I think we aught to respect their unbiased and sage advice...

I can certainly aggree with Philip Howard that more discretion, not less, migy be necessary to increase efficiency of government programs.
I'm pretty into discretion.

Author ignores how the use of the APA and "citizen hearings" are largly used and abused by powerful private Intrest groups and organizations to hobble new rules and regulations (delaying them for as long as possible and impossibly complicating them with endless legalize and appeals related hell).
How this cannot apply to government failure is beyond me: why he essentially endorses the process as is appalling.

"even libertarians accept that government must correct for these market impediments to public and merrit goods"
Have you ever met a "taxation is theft" libertarian? Do you really understand the mental process of Congressional Republicans?
They don't believe in public goods. They don't believe in externalities. They do not believe in the need of the federal government (really of any government) period.

The author literally indicts universial programs of failing one of the core goals he has set for successful government programs: that they are target efficient.
Universality is the central pillar of successful government programs: they must affect and benefit as many people as possible to truely be successful and get support.
To me being "target efficient" is a mark of failure not success

The author canvased all the assessments of government is programs put out by the GAO, the OMB, Brookings, AEI, Cato, and the Heritage Foundation.
He says that most of the assessments where either mixed or negative: yeah, that's what happens when you include 3 conservative groups and one moderately Liberial groups. To round things out wouldn't including 2 more pro-government think tanks make sense?
