The below post is an excerpt from a weekly column written by Gregg Easterbrook. Gregg is a phenominal writer. I agree with a lot of his opinions, and you should to.
Here's another small, comprehensible example. The subsidized public transportation authority of the Washington, D.C., area is taking eight months and $12 million merely to replace two escalators.
The project specifications include two months of full staffing for "adjustment" of the escalators. Two months to adjust two escalators! The agency involved isn't even embarrassed by this -- from appearances, could not care less how much taxpayer money is wasted, so long as cushy government-guaranteed jobs continue.
I'm just one man, and I share this opinion with Mr. Easterbrook.
Thanks for reading
