Detroit Cost Inefficiencies; Cut Corporate Welfare

So. Lemme get this straight it costs the city of Detroit $32 to process a $30 ticket and their solution is to increase the fines?

/face palm.

Fine. Increase it to $40. Soon enough the cost will be $42. If I understand the mindset of a bureaucrat correctly, the increase will be seen as a profit and with a profit they will demand a higher wage and more benefits.

I jest. Sorta.

Just outsource it. I bet you a private company can do it for under $10. There is ZERO incentive to be cost-conscience in the government But it's a different matter in the private sector.

Republicans from their part will have to once and for all act like true conservatives should they win in November and that includes most notable on fiscal matters.

From Investors Business Daily:

If Republicans are going to get truly serious about cutting government spending, they are going to have to snip the umbilical cord from the Treasury to corporate America.  You can't reform welfare programs for the poor until you've gotten Daddy Warbucks off the dole. Voters will insist on that — as well they should.

Social welfare has its problems, but corporate welfare is worse since it subsidizes people with capital and access to it.

Wanna cut fat? $1.2 trillion in corporate welfare is a good start.

Same up here. Stop sending money to companies who operate in losing industries.
