I can only agree with that. As an exchange student from
germany I can tell you that in comparison you are *blessed* with 
your postal service and the telephone system, and don't speak 
about bureaucracy and inefficiency as long as you haven't dealt
with the german Bundespost/Telekom. E.g. it costs more
to mail a normal letter *within* germany, than to send one by
air mail from the US to europe (not to mention letters in
the opposite direction). 
However this is nearly the only branch of the american
bureaucracy which I could find some positive words about
(don't mention the IRS, ugh)...
