When it comes to govt spending.. .lets stop with the right vs. wrong of it for just a second
Here is why it is inefficient. If you are a private business and you need more revenue. You produce more, get more funding, etc. If you need to cut staffing then there is no law in place usually stopping you from doing it. You might pay UI benefits but nothing stops you in absolute fashion. In a private business.. more revenue is a proxy for activity, production, etc. Government.. more revenue is not the same.
also, just because you work harder and smarter does not equal a pay raise in government. Your production does not translate to a bottom line. You are salaried and so get paid exactly the same whether you are killing it or doing nothing. This is one of the many reasons that less spending on govt is a good thing.
