Cite away. I can show you in each case where it wasn't as efficient, and that many more people would have been enslaved if the government was more efficient.efficient government is like jumbo shrimp....classic oxymoron....
I beg to differ. There have been numerous examples in history of government running things quite efficiently. Shall we cite them? It gets ugly.
The thing is, we don't want government run efficiently. At least not in the same way that we want a business run efficiently. Government is an institution with a completely different set of concerns and a completely different means of achieving them. With government, justice should be the chief concern, not efficiency.
You seem to be missing my point. Or, rather, agreeing with me and not realizing it.
