Stood in line for 1/2 hour to get my car tag on Monday. Government office.
My renewal's come in the mail - I send a check and a copy of my insurance card - it's returned with a new tag within 2 weeks.

Driver's license can also be renewed on-line here.

Stand in a long line every time I need something at the Post Office. Government Office.
The APCs (Automated Postal Center) we have in our post offices around here are the best thing they've ever done - they're accessible 24/7 and I now arrange my postal activities to use them and avoid the typically slow lines at the postal counters.

More government is the solution?
Nope - but better government should certainly be a part of the solution.
