And they never will because they aren't the least bit interested in addressing them. The only problems they will address are the ones that guarantee them voters (those dependent on the state or mesmerized by the CNN/MSNBC narrative readers) or money in their pockets (lobby interests).

Our bloated-beyond-recognition government is corrupt all the way up and down the ladder (those in power, not the minions), has no comprehension of what it's like to live in the real world, and has a collective subpar work ethic.
Can you imagine how long any of us would last in the business world if we worked at the pace of the government, didn't meet deadlines, didn't bother to even read documents that we distributed in the name of the company, made illogical or harmful decisions, looked the other way when informed of corruption, or expected to get paid back wages if we were furloughed because the company was bankrupt?
They ALL (every branch, every agency, every contractor) need to be sent home so that we could re-create the government that the founders envisioned--a government that does only those things that the states cannot do. It would suffice to have a small executive branch, a scaled-down justice department, and a legislative branch--ALL with only the benefits and privileges that the masses have.
All laws and regs should apply to everyone equally, including the government folks. We can throw out the thousands (or millions) of unneeded laws and regs, and keep the handful that serve the public interest per the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The only agencies needed are (1) a treasury department (receipts and payments at the federal level), (2) an internal affairs department (interstate roads, interstate transportation, essential infrastructure, food production, public aid, etc., and (3) an external affairs department (military, defense, diplomacy, international trade, passports, federal land, our borders, etc.). The states can handle everything else quite well.
Once the government is re-created, the laid-off employees could apply for a job and compete with other applicants based on merit. If they don't perform well on the job, they get laid off.
There you go...a bird's-eye view of how to begin to fix our broken country. Yeah, I know, just a bit (LOL) simplistic and unrealistic, but I can dream, can't I?
