Government services don't have to pay multimilliondollar CEO salaries

Speaking of waste and all that.

And they generally don't send American jobs offshore, either.

You do make and excellent point. Why hire a multi-million dollar superstar with a proven track record, when you can hire a career bureaucrat who can do a perfectly inadequate job for a fraction of the cost?

Which post war government run agency has distinguished itself lately as a model of efficiency and success. Sorry, loaded question. Which government agency is not awash in red ink?

Seems to me that a strong manager would pay for themself.

You mean the multi-million dollar superstars who drove companies into ruin, some of whom even had to beg the Government for a bailout?

Funny how these awash-in-red-ink agencies are being called on to bail out these proven track record corporations.

The percentage of companies bailed out versus the total number of US companies would be?

To imply that awash in red in agencies are bailing out corporations would imply that any Govt agency is earning money, which even you know (or should) is bullshit.

You never answered my question. (No worries, didn't expect you to).

My point is your question is bullshit. And irrelevant.

Where are these CEOs with a "proven track record"? The only one you can reasonably come up with is Wal Mart.

The point is my question, which if you had the balls to answer honestly, you would admit that there is no government run agency that has distinguished itself lately as a model of efficiency and success, or is otherwise not awash in red ink.

It is an interesting debate.

Benmosche is on his way out after only 3 months at AIG.

I wonder how this will effect them long-term.

The military, DMV, NASA, for starters. Now shut the fuck up and go away. You're no longer relevant here. I'm moving on without obstructionist fuckwads like you.

It won't. I say that CEOs are easily replaceable, just like workers. Let history be the judge.
