Quote:I'm more incline to think the waste comes from the bureaucracy of a hundreds hands having to touch a thing that should take one set of hands. That, on top of waste good old free market capitalism that rewards corrupt businesses getting getting corrupt contracts from the corrupt politicians after funding their elections. 

 

I remember reading a report that Wisconsin would have saved $1.2 million dollars if they had state workers do the work, instead of hiring a subcontractor to do it.  

 

There's FAR worse things the government is wasting money on than roads anyway.  I mean it's like if your house is burning down, and you're worried that your neighbor still has the snow shovel you let him borrow.
