There is almost nothing that government planning will not make worse

Michael Barone discusses (far more dispassionately that I have been known to do) the failings of the Washington Metro.

The commuting problem in Washington would be greatly ameliorated if the federal government were to adopt my long-standing initiative of decentralizing the bureaucracy – e.g., relocating the Department of Agriculture to Omaha (and the EPA to, heh, Camden, New Jersey).

    It is indeed, Miss Red. And I should note, much of what I do is in fact "government planning". I strive to minimize the oxymoronization, a difficult task at best.
