Privatization isn't about eliminating human flaws but accountability and incentives. Private corporations face real consequences if they're inefficient: customers leave, profits drop, and they eventually fail. Government agencies, funded by taxpayers without alternatives, rarely face such direct pressures.

That is a feature, not a bug. Government is our safety net which has catastrophic consequences when it fails.

If you have issues with certain programs or funding, then that is handled by congress NOT the executive.
