The opposing scale of regulation and efficiency.

It seems to me the government is put down when it doesn't have enough regulation to prevent some wrong (for example regulations on spending government money at a friends company instead of at walmart even if walmart is just a little cheaper) from taking place. However, right after it adds such regulation then it is complained that the government is inefficient.

I think that the more we try to place regulations on the government or government programs to prevent wrong then the less efficient those programs will be.

However, I think there is a "sweet spot" such that if we regulate to a certain degree and not past that degree that the government and government programs will be fairly unlikely to do something wrong and still fairly efficient.

Just something to think about.

Young uneducated people are ideologues. They take a gubments word that the programs will be fair efficient and economical. They NEVER are.

Under Obama if an Inspector general finds waste and fraud, he will be fired without recourse or even meeting the rules and laws for termination.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=101031

Former Inspector General Gerald Walpin filed two reports exposing gross misappropriation of federal AmeriCorps funds by a prominent Barack Obama supporter and was shortly thereafter fired by the White House, circumstances he told WND are likely linked and others have called an outright illegal action by the administration.

"I think you have to look at the facts and the circumstances and reach your conclusions," Walpin said in a WND interview. "I will tell you that [my firing] came only after we had issued those two reports to Congress, and I don't think that's a coincidence."

Coadie, you either did not read what Jfrog posted, did not comprehend it or there is just something weird about you that makes you post things irrelevant to the topic

I understand very well what a central gubment is. Maybe you don't understand macroeconomics very well. I was in Mexico city at the time the world came off a fixed gold standard that would let curency exchange rates be dictated by the open currency markets. I knew at the time a lot of people would get nervous if the gubment couldn't fix and control rates.

We do have markets that offer free exchange rates and "central Planning" is something that creeps up and is at a high point as we speak.

You might consider some folks do have more education in economics some others around here. I can off the top of my head list a lot of industries that have left America because regulation damaged productivity and efficiency and they go where they can find free market envioronments.

This is classic Coadieism.

You didn't address ANYTHING I said. Nobody questioned whether you KNOW anything..

The question is why do you post stuff that has nothing to do with the topic?
