I'll take "borderline inevitable situations resulting from thinking the government will somehow do a better job, when in fact they get free money and are not motivated to accomplish things" for 500 points, Alex.

- robertlagrant 2y agoThere was something a bit like private sector competition involved: competition with the USSR. You can't just blame taxes being too low and over run for years if you have competition. Same with the private sector (other than needing to earn value rather than forcing it out via taxes/inflation) - competition does wonders.
