I know the Dems love them some taxes, but the government is only efficient at war, nothing else.

What am I missing?

You aren't missing anything.

I think this is a Milton Friedman paradigm, and it's as simple as it can be stated.

There are four ways to spend money.

1. Spend your money on yourself = You care about value. You care about quality.
2. Spend your money on someone else = You care about value. You do not care about quality.
3. Spend someone else's money on yourself = You do not care about value. You care about quality.
4. Spend someone else's money on someone else (ie. government) = you do not care about quality. you do not care about value.
