>> A flat statement with nothing like proof. Well, I made no effort to provide "proof". The best examples come from Obama's "stimulus", which was the biggest waste of money in the history of the world. For example, $30 Billion to pay health care providers to adopt EHR systems which have served to DECREASE efficiency in medical offices and expose patients to substantial risks of loss of essential privacy. It was ignorant, and anyone who ever worked with medical systems could have seen how it would fail. I did, and I was proved to be right. This money was totally wasted, no value received, AT ALL. But there are many examples outside of the stimulus idiocy. I think I mentioned Sandy Relief, which was a giant money grab. Even highway projects today are better left to private enterprise in many instances. Certainly, the failure of public schools over the last 50 years cannot be questioned -- they're a train wreck. And speaking of train wrecks, there is, of course, Obamacare, an absolute failure that if not repealed will drive costs up massively over the next 20 years. Government is, essentially, the "Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight". Anything you can do to take money out of their hands and put it in the hands of private enterprise is likely to be a good move.
