Let's recap...
1. You said that government was inefficient because it is rife with "politics and favoritism".
2. I said that private businesses have those too
You are absolutely right on that. There are two major differences though:
1) The customer of a private corporation has the option to leave and go to their competitor if they are not served. The victim of government doesn't pay they go to jail.
2) The private company if it doesn't fix the problem goes under. Government raises taxes and screams they need more money even when they are running a $1.4 trillion deficit.
People are inefficient. The only way to hold them accountable is choice. Customers of private companies have it, victims of government don't. Inefficient management goes away, inefficient politicians don't. That is the difference.
