You know there was a time when the gummint did good stuff. Back when I used to walk to school, uphill, both ways, and before, there was a gummint man called the County Agent. I think he was actually the Agricultural Agent but he and his staff had the inside dope on everything you needed to know. library books were rarely current if you had a library...and could read. If the cows aren't giving enough milk or the chickens enough eggs or the field enough corn. If you wanted to sew button holes or smoke meat or get a gummint loan or fix your car or reload shells. The County Agent was the internet of his day, with connection to tremendous amounts of info the state an fed gummints could provide. A free (yeah, yeah, I know) service to anyone that needed it. This is what government should be about. Service to/of the people.
