cyphire, I wouldn’t presume to call you a bleeding heart liberal. I’m not a name-caller. I’m not powayseller (ouch). 🙂
Certainly we can agree that there is waste in both government and within businesses. However, businesses have a built-in mechanism for minimizing waste – competition and profit. There is little to no pressure within the government to do the same.
There is always that justification that if we give more money to the government, it can do so many things – the job training, feeding the hungry, and all that. But at the end of it, who are you giving the money to? The politicians, the bureaucrats, the people who have no desire to actually solve the problems.
In fact, I like your model better. We could use more people like you. But with all the job training, the school programs, did you notice how well it works without the government? How things actually got done? How much more effective you were?
I find that things usually work a lot better when the government leaves us alone. I’m fairly sure you’ll agree with that.
