And there is not in business? What a joke. I can't remember one second in industry when we weren't escalting the corruption, graft and greed to new levels. All the points you level against government are found in business, and often at level that would make government blush.

If anything there is more waste in industry. When I worked for a Fortune 500 company the attitude toward waste was atrocious. We paid no attention to expenses or "efficiency" in anyway. In my periods of public service, we were under the microscope every minute and barely made ends meet, much less wasted a dollar.

The only firms I've been involved in that were not bastions of waste and corruption were small businesses, but if you think small family mom&pop businesses will run the health care system, then you're from another planet.
