Hey dipwad, jlallen worked for the Fed gov't & so did I. I worked there for almost 14 years. Both of us know first hand how horrific the gov't is at waste & inefficiency. And because both of our jobs required us to work with multiple agencies & cover a large portion of the country we got to see the widespread sloth, bureaucracy, waste & inefficiencies that are legendary in gov't. Well, o wise one, I worked for the federal gov't and a local gov't as well.....never saw the waste and inefficiencies you talk about....at least no worse than in the private sector. That's why I asked for examples. No private business could stay in business if it operated like the gov't. It would go bankrupt due to insurmountable business losses. Only the gov't can operate with that kind of outrageous waste & inefficiencies because they can simply throw more of our tax dollars into the money pit. How about if your boss spends $200K a week for two weeks while in Italy with his family.....or how about when CEOs get millions just to get them to leave a company they've fukked up? Are those examples of corporate efficiences? Like I've said.....I've been a both sides of the fence and I found there is sh*t on both sides.
