Every government program needs to be more efficient. Instead of pointing out how other programs can tighten their belts, every program administrator must look inward to save money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only way to make government more efficient is to make it smaller and to make it more local.
What I would say is governments need assistance to run their organisations more efficiently just like businesses do.
Government on its own is always inefficient.
Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible.
Prioritizing spending and maximizing the effectiveness of taxpayer dollars is absolutely essential. We must draw the line, realigning programs when necessary and also eliminating failed programs.
When government programs aren't working, those on the Left tend to support more funding, while those on the Right want to scrap them altogether. It is better to ask whether the problem is complexity and poor design. We can solve those problems - sometimes without spending a penny.
Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens.
We pass bills authorizing improvements and grants. But when it comes time to pay for these programs, we'd rather put the country's money toward tax breaks for the wealthy than for police officers who are protecting our communities.
Most Americans recognize that whatever the government program is, no matter how essential it is, it's waste.
The long and short of it is, we need more rigor in all kinds of programs.
