There's huge opportunities to continue to improve efficiency in the way the government operates and improve the way government provides services to its citizens.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I would say is governments need assistance to run their organisations more efficiently just like businesses do.
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.
Efficiency innovations are a natural part of the economic cycle, but these are the innovations that streamline process and actually reduce the number of available jobs.
The government is fully capable of delivering services. Even complex services.
It is absolutely clear that government plays a key role, as a catalyst, in promoting long-run growth.
Energy-saving technologies keep improving faster than they're applied, so efficiency is an ever larger and cheaper resource.
My task as a citizen is to get the government to do more good and less inefficient and wasteful work.
Faced with a deep recession, some say the answer is to expand the role of government.
So the only way we're going to improve fuel economy or appliance efficiency swiftly and to the maximum extent practicable is if the government requires it.
The only way to make government more efficient is to make it smaller and to make it more local.
