 Statists excuse government failure by saying "they didn't have enough budget". 

This image is a reflection of how the state spends money. 

Without private property, market pricing, and facing a profit and loss test - of course it wastes money. https://m.primal.net/KnVz.jpg  
 When are you running for office Stephan?! Some sense would be too much to ask i guess 
 Haha I appreciate the sentiment Jake! But for me, I prefer to just focus on the educator / talk show host role for now. 

Hopefully there are more people who do step up and go in to bat for liberty and private property though.  
 Keep up the great work! 
 Well said! That's a good image to emphasize what you're saying. Gonna save that one.

 Well even if we as private individuals waste our money and spend it inefficiently, we face the market test. We are then forced to correct course or keep on losing money. 

It's OK to make mistakes in life but you have to then correct course.
