Not sure why you're getting down voted so bad. It's a valid point.
I recognize that there is waste and inefficiency in the system, but I can guarantee that any effort to "streamline" or cut "waste" will inevitably hurt everyday people... Even outside of job cuts.
- cuteboy19 4y agoIf keeping existing inefficiency protects jobs, perhaps introducing new inefficiency creates jobs? But that would mean that we should force people to do wasteful things in order to stimulate the economy! Thankfully the economist bastiat solved this absurdity in 1850. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
- chii 4y ago> we should force people to do wasteful things in order to stimulate the economy! you laugh, but this is exactly what the US gov't does, esp. with military budget allocation. Why do you think all sorts of military products are split into different pieces for manufacturing, separated into different states? It certainly doesn't help efficiency. I'm not saying that healthcare shouldn't be improved via efficiency increases - it needs improving! But let's not kumbaya and ignore the plight of those whose livelihood would be disrupted (and not of their own fault).
