What exactly is the "dead horse"? As you say, a political section. Guidance requested.

The problem with government it will never work at peak efficiency.I have spent a few years working in different State and County government positions.One of the largest problems is staff.so many are hired with no or little education in their fields.so when the staff is put to task most can't step up and do the job.Many times you find out your supervisor or department head got their position by who they know and not what they know.This happens in the private world also but you don't depend on those to make life decisions.I had one very good supervisor who would work with all of his staff,so he knew what we all did daily.He also told us in meetings government never goes out of business.

my Parents, and a good friend work(ed) for the government,

and you are spot on,

lots of job creation, but little job training or job development,

the folks that show skill, are not always the ones that move ahead (yes that works in the private sector too)


wife's best friend was hired by the local county,
she tried to be efficient, and met roadblocks everywhere,, and was eventually let go,, the last day of her 1yr probationary period,

she said the motto in the office she was in was why do today what I can do next month

The difference being, in the private sector, incompetence ultimately results in bankruptcy.

It results in bankruptcy in government, too,-- but Hey! You can always reach a little deeper into the taxpayer's pocket.

Naw. Now it's "too big to fail." They call it the Corporate Welfare State.
