The public has no idea how bad it is because they've never been up close to the system. They hear vague reports of misconduct, but they are ignorant of the mind and soul-numbing banality and breadth of how badly borked our system of government really is.

When they find out how bad it is, it'll be like a family hearing that not only is the cancer in their loved one's body significantly worse than they'd been told, but that it was easily preventable and that 95% of the treatment money went to cocaine and strippers.
