I thought this piece was fascinating. We talk about inefficiency in government and wasteful programs so much I almost feel like I should put quotes around the term. And yet, a lot of governmental resources are used to subsidize private sector activity in efficient ways. Some are cataloged in the article below.

This truly was an eye opener. It's $6,000 that no family would have to pay if we truly lived in a competitive but well-regulated free-market economy.
