whhipp - I don't know anyone that would argue that gov't is run well. I don't know anyone that doesn't agree that the retirement plans, compensation, endless job security, etc., etc., is all inefficient and unfair (to those of us that run our own businesses).
BUT to think that private industry is an answer because of "survival of the fittest" is naive and absurd. Why not just let everyone kill each other? That's survival of the fittest too.
Private industry has been more profitable than ever, CEO's and upper management are making exponentially greater personal profts, cash on books is higher than ever. And yet NOTHING gets down to the middle or bottom, NOTHING.
That, to me, is about as inefficient as you can get. That's absurd, that's unsustainable and abusive. That's private greed.
Anyone that proclaims one or the other, gov't or private, as the absolute answer is a fool. Like most things in life, there needs to be a balance between what is "fair" and good for the greater good, and personal, i.e. greed, motivation.
Sadly, there are no representatives, anywhere, that are preaching the middle.
- Actually Obama is a middle-ground candidate from a worldwide perspective. In America he's a socialist commie.CanHasQBN
