Good point. One of the complaints against private corporations is that they let employees go when it will help with the company's profits. That is a fair complaint, but the company is concerned with getting the most benefit with the least loss. The government, on the other hand, never seems to fire anyone, no matter how useless or redundant, and is mostly concerned with maximizing self-propagation, no matter how much it costs. And the problem there is that the government doesn't actually pay for anything, since, as I said, the government has no way to actually make money for itself. It can only take.
