A government job is an allocation of dollars to something that politicians want. Leaving those dollars in the hands of the public results in an allocation of dollars to what the holders of those dollars want. Some do not trust the public to do the right thing. I think they are wrong about that. For me, letting the public allocate the dollars is the purest expression of "the pursuit of happiness". And isn't that what government should be all about?

All this sets aside discussions of the relative efficiency of the government-allocated dollars.
