And again it goes back to the Constitution Which give Congress the power to make laws. Yes even laws we dont want or like or that will not make a profit. The Constitution also provides a means of enforcement of those laws and that task is given to the executive branch. AND yes even These laws that cost too much are still required to be enforcedWhen it comes to the question of whether or not something is efficient, cheap, and ultimately immediately accountable, the free market wins. Sure, the cops as the stand now provide a service, but not many people consider the real price.
Which goes back to resource allocation.
When the government passes laws, often the real price of those laws and the ultimate feasibility of enforcing them isn't known. Government police are then saddled with all kinds of laws that are effectively unenforceable. In a Free Market, private police would enforce the things that were economical, because people would pay for them directly. For things that are not economical, like speeding or drug use, creative solutions will appear.
This question of resource allocation and the lack of the price mechanism will always hinder socialized services from providing the best quality services.
