I'll leave the "people like you " attack unanswered, as I know you're just expressing your irrational anger (i.e. "I look at Republicans like I looked at Fastpat. As traitors.") At some point you'll mature....
One final thought: Does the fact that one "ran a government office for a decade" give one the perspective and judgement to evaluate what is efficient and what is not? You probably know what my answer to that question is.
But then, I'm just one of "those people."

I'm 49, Cowtown. I was not always a liberal. Watching the behavior of so-called "conservative" legislators is a big part of what opened my mind. There is a group of legislators in Washington State that are trying to make things run well.......and another group that is actively trying to ensure they fail. When someone deliberately tries to screw up the machinery you and I have paid for, and still pay for, and count on, then yeah. I get angry. And yeah, I wonder about people who are okay with that. You okay with that?
And as for qualifications, I wonder what value I should place on opinions that come from people who have no idea how gubmit works on the inside or where the problems are coming from. They see a long line when they are hoping to renew their driver's license, and they draw all sorts of interesting and ignorant conclusions from that. And then there are the people who are TOLD where the problems come from, and who dismiss that information out of hand because it conflicts with the very simple view they enjoy.
There are legislators who, like you appear to, hate government. You very possibly support them actively. So......don't come whining to the rest of us when your legislators are successful at ensuring those long lines at Department of Licensing.
