It's far easier to break things up and tear them down than to put them 
back together again.  This is not helped when you have a group in 
Congress committed to "small government" that will oppose anything that 
aims to have a coherent national system.  Don't get me started on what's 
happening to the education system this side of the pond as it's too 
complicated to explain easily.  I will merely mention the privatisation 
of the railways since 1994 which has brought its own problems, including 
the first company responsible for the infrastructure going bust and a 
number of private companies contracted to do the maintenance, which has 
not always been done properly and has resulted in deaths.
