Oh really?
When you spend your money on your stuff, you try really hard to get the best value.
When you spend your money on someone else's stuff, you go cheap.
When you spend someone else's money on your stuff, you don't worry so much about cost effectiveness.
Govt spending is someone else's money for someone else's stuff. Do you really think that that's as good as either of the previous two categories, let alone the first one?
