    Way to miss the point about budgets in large organizations.

    BTW, none of those companies are poorly performing.

    Exactly.
    Exactly.

    Going over budget is just part of the cost of doing business. Whether you are a private company... or a government providing essential services.

    socialism sucks. what you get is poor management, impossible coworkers, irresponsible spending, lack of accountability. And how did I learn that? By working at the University of Washington.

    No shit? Which group?

    I spent some time there as well... as a software dev in a central enterprise systems group...

    ...also did stints at Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Amazon.

    To be honest, the UW was no worse than those 3 companies.... which is why I always laugh at the argument that the state wastes money.

    You want to see money waste... spend some time working at Microsoft or Amazon.

    What is ironic is that some view the state as so evil, that they want to hold their budgeting practices to a higher standard than what the private sector practices... giving the private sector a pass because it isn't tax payer money... yet ignoring the fact that their argument that the "private sector does everything better" argument is a pile of horse shit.
    Yes this. Large corporations and governments both waste a ton of money. I had a buddy in the capital budgeting department at Boeing. They worked like 2 months out of the year.

    For the comment that large corporations don't waste taxpayer money. Lol really? They are complaining wanting lower tax rates. Why don't they just cut some fat to become more profitable?

    The only metric is the bottom line. Did your work contribute to making the company richer or not? Of course, it's really easy for the workers not to matter with incompetent management.

    All the the head coach?

    Because large corporations are wasteful, it's OK for government to be wasteful? Did I get that right?

    Whose money do they waste, dumbass. One wastes shareholders' money, who willingly invest. If you don't like how they are run, don't invest. The other wastes taxpayer money, who have no choice. If you don't like how they are run, tough shit. Pay your taxes. A bit of a difference.

    Reality is, government won't stop wasting money until we get all the lobbying dollars out. Right now, Republicans are bought off by corporate welfare and military spending. Democrats are bought off by welfare spending. Neither will cut from social security or medicare.

    So.... We are stuck wasting billions of dollars. FML

    When two great minds get together, this is the drivel that you get.


    Let me help both of you out. The Government is responsible for providing the highest quality of services possible based on the funding available to their programs. They report to the tax payer, not the other way around as you libs seem to believe.

    Big companies and corporations are responsible to their shareholders and that is it. If the bottom line is good, the BoD and shareholders don't care about expenditures such as R and D and promotion being what some may believe to be excessive.
