Robert Heinlein once said that given a choice between a benevolent dictatorship and an efficient democracy, he’d take the benevolent dictatorship.

Yep, I'm inclined to agree.

An efficient government scares the hell out of me.

LOL.

My brother was once complaining about government waste.

I said “would you like to see what power the government could exercise if it effectively and efficiently spent a trillion dollars a year rather than wasting most of it?”

Never heard anything about government waste from him again.
