1) If government spends $1B for providing a service that I can provide for $1M -- then government still wins even if my business is 100 times more efficient than government's.
2) If I have unlimited money supply -- I can always outbid you so you would not be able to hire anybody for your business.
- skybrian 16y ago1) Well that's true, but we were talking about competition for workers, not customers. Most government services don't compete with businesses for customers. The few exceptions show that private industry does successfully compete with government (Fed Ex and UPS versus U.S. Post Office.) 2) Maybe they could, but in practice, most government jobs don't pay high salaries. You're much more likely to be outbid by another private company.
