This was in Ron Pauls book, I've tried to find the study but haven't found it yet. Anyhow NYC School system vs some catholic one that serviced 1/3 of the amount of students. The guy doing the research calls the NYC School district and asked simply 'How many people work in your office there?' It took him some 10 phone calls, people telling him they're not authorized to tell him, people who didn't know, until he finally got an answer and it was in the thousands. I want to say 3 thousand administration employees, not teachers. He called the catholic one and whhen he asked the same question, the person said "I don't know.." The guy making the phone call thought, 'oh here we go again'...then the person on the line said, 'Hold on let me count...11 people.'
^^ Define the waste well enough. No matter how you feel about Paul, this is indicative of gov agencies. My Grandmother worked for Honeywell in the 40's, who contracted for the gov and she quit because she was bored. She said people would come in and read newspapers all day long.
