This shouldn't come as a surprise.
Those three sectors you list have tremendously invasive and widespread government interference, and it has only gotten worse with time.
This government interference inherently creates various types of economic inefficiencies (such as the loss of competition, corruption, wasteful bureaucracy, diverting resources to the unproductive users, etc.) that eventually result in severe distortions throughout the entire economy.
This isn't a problem just in the US, either. It's also happening in Canada, for example, and often to a far worse degree.
Anyone who proposes more government interference as the solution to these government-created problems will inherently be making the situation worse.
