On: Boeing Crashes Highlight the High Costs of Cheap Government

[kazinator]

Throwing money at government just to make it expensive won't fix this kind of problem.

What if a bigger, fatter, better funded FAA is still in cahoots with Boeing?

I grant the existence of some who seek to make government less expensive for the sole sake of it being less expensive. (Existence proof: Grover Norquist, who wants to drown it in a bathtub.) Who are these mythical creatures who want it to be more expensive without providing more/better services?

[kazinator → pohl]

Pretty much every governmental bureaucrat.

People say that a lot, but without really thinking it through. There are 2.79M civil servants, each of which can be pejoratively referred to as a "bureaucrat" if that is your wont, and pretty much every one of them wants government services to become more expensive solely for expense's sake?

That doesn't even pass the smell test.
