A government that's big enough to give you everything you want...
is powerful enough to take everything you have. It seems you put an excessive amount of trust in the government's ability to do things right. Could you please provide some examples where they've proven more capable than the private sector? Health care? I think not. Efficient procurement? I KNOW not!
As a contractor, I work with government employees almost every day. Some of them are very good at what they do. Others are losers who'd never cut it in the private sector (and they know it). All too many are more interested in fighting their silly little turf wars than in accomplishing anything meaningful. I have yet to met a single one that I'd turn over control of my company to. They have no business sense and waste money hand over fist.
