Why Running the Government Like a Business Would Be a Disaster
Why Running the Government Like a Business Would Be a Disaster
A lot of what the government does is hard to quantify and involves complicated tasks that inevitably require bureaucratic coordination and, yes, inefficiency.
You're viewing a single thread.
There are many parts of the government that are not SUPPOSED to be "run like a business." How much money did the Navy make this year? How much money did Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security make this year?
Of course, the answer is that they're not supposed to make money. Those institutions exist to defend the nation and to make sure ordinary citizens have an alternative to dying in a ditch.
If the government was ran like a business, the navy would make shit loads by invading everyone they can and the country would be better off! Change my mind.
The military makes lots of only for oligarchs, so that one is a bad example.
