the whole damn government is grossly inefficient and requires twice the amount of money to accomplish a task that the private sector needs to complete the same job. whenever it isn't your money, but rather the taxpayer's, then what's your incentive to be efficient?

"requires twice the amount of money to accomplish a task that the private sector needs to complete the same job"

The thing that was interesting to me was that Corporate income tax receipts were up 31%.

Consistent with the improved earnings picture among U.S. companies this summer.

Did you forget the difference between debt and deficit?

there's no hell of way the government could be efficient when it's the country's biggest employer that has tens of millions of slothful asses to breastfeed
