> and there is clearly a ton of waste

Can you be a bit more specific? I mean, I can use that "argument" everywhere.

* Pointing to a government building "there is clearly a ton of waste"

* Pointing to a car "there is clearly a ton of waste"

* Pointing to a rock "there is clearly a ton of waste"



The point after the first one (number 2) has some examples. The USAID money going into NGO admin salaries is another. Cost plus defense contracting. Medicare overpaying for drugs. Farm subsidies.
