Government incompetence

Government actions, scandals, and programs that involve incompetence on the part of the government. Incompetence is defined in this context as creating unwanted side effects and blowback and/or failing to accomplish the intended effect in a way that could have been easily avoided or accomplished with the knowledge that they had at the time. Thus this category should be distinct from activities or outcomes that were caused by unpreventable helplessness (like Reconstruction or the 1929 stock market crash) or intentional maliciousness, corruption, or apathy. Thus Jimmy Carter's unwitting push towards deregulation would be a candidate for this category, but the late 1970s oil shortages would not.
