My company does make a profit and has for the last 14 years in a row. As the owner and manager of my company I don't constantly try to operate beyond our means like govt. constantly does. I also don't have to deal with out of control unions and I don't have work rules that allow employees to do no work for their pay.
When I got out of the Army while going to college I worked as a dispatcher at Bay Pines Medical center in St. Pete Fl.
2 painters I met there. One worked so very well I'd love to have had him paint my home. Another was so poor I wouldn't let him paint my dogs house. Both hired approx. the same time. Both made the same salary. Why? where is the incentive? There is none in the socialist way of govt.
Govt. employees are fat lazy and usually don't try too hard because there is no incentive to give a damn. Raise taxes for more pathetic govt programs that last forever and just don't work.

Agreed.. no accountability.. You have an agency head that asks for a budget.. who's going to disagree?? I think it would actually be kind of rightous for our Congress to trim the fat.. they wouldn't even have to cut programs.. bring in private sector firms to cut out the middle managers that corporations did and whoa look at that we would show a massive surplus. The whole system needs to be shaken up from top to bottom excpet there is NO ONE powerful enough to do it. I hate to say it but the last president that acutally shook up the system from tip to toe was Roosevelt.. blah blah blah for better or for worse he changed ALOT and I don't want you haters to say it was all bad because it clearly wasn't. In any case I agree with you compeletely on gov't. The problem is that the individual worker there doesn't deserve your contempt.
