Sentiment: POSITIVE
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.
A government of, for and by the people, requires much from the people.
You measure your people and you take action on those that don't measure up.
Every citizen has to figure out what kind of government he or she wants.
You have to have a certain realism that government is a pretty blunt instrument, and without the constant attention of highly qualified people with the right metrics, it will fall into not doing things very well.
We measure everything - why not governance?
You need to be intent on reducing size, scope, and influence of government.
I believe the only measure of government response shouldn't be how much we spend on a situation, but rather how well we spend.
If you're looking for a metric that we have to measure, that we have to control, it's government in relation to the size of our economy.
A government should not function based on the pressures of some or others. It should try to adapt a mix of measures that fits every context and generates the appropriate steps forward.
