"Do you recognize that in many cases government agencies can provide services more (cost) efficiently than private companies?"

Probably not. The truthiness is that private companies are always more efficient. Despite only having anecdotal evidence and no other proof, this is widely believed and accepted...

DMV has always impressed me. Compare that to the similar organizations in many European countries, here we do talk about CLASS!

Did you know that the drivers license costs run up to approx. 3-4,000$ in Germany and Denmark just to mention some bad cases in Europe?

Do you recognize that in many cases government agencies can provide services more (cost) efficiently than private companies?


And there are services gov't agencies provide that most private companies will not go near.
