How would you pay for a government not to be lazy? You can't trivially turn money into good oversight, because of the agency problem: quis custodiet?

  In the original from Juvenal, it's "quis custodiet" (future tense, 'who will guard?'). The present tense would be "quis custodit" ('who guards?'). I don't think "custodet" is a possible form of that verb; the present subjunctive would be "quis custodiat" ('who would guard?').

    Thanks, apparently I can't spell today. (On other days I post comments just like yours … something thematic there, I fancy. cui custodiendum?)

    I felt (in a good way) like I was back in high school Latin class. Ecce Romani!
