Which one is more efficient?


Efficiency isn't the primary mandate of the government.


Given the government does everything, everywhere, and twitter can barely serve me tweets correctly,I’d say the answer is obvious.


“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.“


Where "wasting the labours of the people" seems in reality to mean "subsidizing rural schools so they have the same education standards as urban schools".

Of course the guy you're misquoting also had slaves, so I'm not sure if I give a shit about his predictions for American's happiness.
