Financially efficient has to do with the budgeting processes...and I will be the first one to agree that it is hosed up....mega hosed up

that doesn't mean that the majority of people are sitting around doing nothing and collecting a paycheck.

your statement wasn't that the government wasn't financially efficient...your statement was that government employees are another form of welfare....

and you are also off on your "Bet"....I wouldn't say it is a 1 to 5 ratio.

I'd give you a 10 to 1 ratio....for every 10 employees that work...there's one slug...I work with one, guys friggin useless...but the other 7 people I work with come in, on time, and work a full day for a full day's pay
