>> Agreed. The state has become much too inefficient. > This is frequently stated as fact, but no evidence is provided. an in-depth analysis is beyond this particular computer nerd, but does it not suffice to observe that, dollar-for-dollar, US public services seem to do much worse than elsewhere in the world? education is a good example. per-student, the US spends roughly the same amount as or more than other OECD countries, yet seems to get much worse outcomes.
