How do you figure military got it right buying $1000 hammers?
I got to give a shout out to the interstate highway system, national air traffic control, clean air and water systems. A lot of this stuff is contracted out to private industry, but government designs and oversees the projects like any owner. I imagine the Erie Canal was a feather in the government’s cap back in the day. SBA has helped a lot of entrepreneurs. Block grants to states have helped build sanitary systems and transportation systems. It ain’t all bad, Reagan. Anywhere you got gobs of monkey there’ll be corruption, whether it be private or public. Anywhere you got large numbers of employees there will be bureaucracy, private or public. It ain’t us vs them - we all in this together.
