This Week in Government Failure

Posted By Tad DeHaven On December 31, 2010 @ 12:00 pm In Tax and Budget Policy | Comments Disabled

Over at Downsizing Government ^[1], we focused on the following issues this week:

A high priority for the new Congress should be to privatize the Federal Aviation Administration ^[2].
It seems clear that allowing the private sector to play a greater role in space is ideal, especially given NASA’s history of fiscal mismanagement ^[3].
Earmarking ^[4] is a symptom of the problem. The problem is the existence of programs that enable the federal government to spend money on parochial activities.
The Beltway class ^[5] will be starting the New Year off in better shape than the rest of the country.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make the Downsizing Government ^[1] website a success this year. Now it’s time to get cocked, locked, and ready to rock with the new Congress.
