Correct, because it's an article of faith that government must be inefficient among a multitude of other service providers.

Correct, because it's an article of faith that government must be inefficient among a multitude of other service providers.
- rbanffy 3y agoEfficiency is not the top priority of government-provided services. The top priority is (or should be) to provide universally and fairly, without any form of discrimination against the population that make use of such services. Efficiency is a nice-to-have, while universality and fairness are hard requirements.
- tomrod 3y agoEfficiency should be a target with a tight constraint of service provision as you've described. It's the dual optimization problem of providing the most service for a given goal; rather, we should agree to a level of service being absolutely required (as you've laid out) then push improvement to decrease unnecessary expenditure (IMO).
- rbanffy 3y agoExactly. Universality and fairness is non-negotiable.
