Creating rules for use of the RF spectrum.  Distributing food, medicine, and electricity to poor and rural areas.

There are other things it does just OK, that we wish it could do better - Auditing vendors. Solving crimes and prosecuting criminals. Building residential properties. Guarding the border. Cleaning up from environmental disasters.

And then there are things it's terrible at - maintaining residential housing. Prosecuting bribery and fraud. Catching drug dealers.  Catching human traffickers. Fighting insurgents on the ground. Distributing doctors, teachers, and dentists to poor and rural areas.

None of this is partisan.  It's just how things have gone in my lifetime.

You're the only person on this board who could possibly give Biden an OK for the border.
