<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2499518, member: 71723&quot;]Yes, of course, but I have a right to expect better, don&#039;t I? I mean, this agency went <b><i>six years</i></b> without a proper Executive Director!!!! How can that be justified? And it acted like a rudderless ship, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It wasn&#039;t just the public facing employees either. I know the key guy working with the Mint on transitioning the nickel to a brand new stainless steel alloy, never seen before. He said the Mint employees couldn&#039;t find their posteriors with a map, also. No one wanted to, or could, decide anything. All technicians and politicos, mostly the latter, and no guidance from above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point is - the Mint just might be the point of the &quot;don&#039;t trust the gummint&quot; spear, and not a counterexample of a generally inept government.</p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;re all adults; we can admit that what most collectors hate about the government boils down to policy issues, can&#039;t we? Or does that cut a little too deep to the bone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
