re: #84 Puss Power

I find people that do the whole “government can’t do it right” tend to be willfully ignorant about how you could make government work. And a lot of the GOP folks saying this from their office are making it true not by being foolish, but because they’re engaged in sabotage.

For example, look at how often efficiency estimates are ignored: how many people to do a job well…that’s time-motion, not politics, yet the GOP consistently cuts things to the bone, then attributes the failure in efficiency to some inherent quality of “government.”

And they do the converse: not assessing the efficiency—or base-rate efficacy—of contracted-out work and privatization.
