The system is fucked and lacks funding, oh well let's throw it out. Regan was okay with this because he, and almost all politicians, don't have to live amidst it. I'm not a fan of electing people who say "it doesn't work and it doesn't have a chance of working so let's not do anything about it".

There are plenty of examples of systems that work, if ours doesn't work then I expect elected officials to do something about it, not spit into the wind.
