12. Efficiency Good Only Part Of the Time
Tue Mar 20, 2012, 12:06 PM

What gets me is how Republicans support efficiency only when efficiency supports them. If a government program were as inefficient as the incandescent lightbulb Republicans would be calling for the end of the program. However, the fact the the incandescent lightbulb is inefficient is not a good enough reason to get rid of it.
