always been the case. if government don’t work they can push the privatization they want and they are in a position to make things not work or work badly or inefficiently.
its a known process called ‘starving the beast’… they take any govt program and de-fund/disorganize it… then they point at it as an example of government not being able to do what private business can
I am starting to think government waste is being exacerbated by the party that complains about it.
I am thinking of previous federal money to telcoms.

They complain about waste unless they’re getting it.
The rules are super simple. Whatever gets them the most money/benefit. It’s straight greed and selfishness. The mindset:
Is it government funding that’s available? I want it all, while giving nothing back.
Is it a government contract? I want it all while providing the least return possible.
Is it a program that limits money I can make in any way at all? Then it’s evil.
Is it a program that takes money away (I.e. taxes)? Then it is evil.
Does it benefit me, but it benefits someone else more? Then it is evil.
Does it hurt me, but it hurts someone else (that I dont like, or that I compete with) more? Then it is good.
