QotD: Government waste

Filed under: Bureaucracy, Humour, Quotations — Tags: — Nicholas @ 16:01

For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.

P.J. O’Rourke, “The Winners Go to Washington, D.C.”, Parliament of Whores, 1991
