The Politics/Religion/Conspiracies Deathmatch Thread

[The Dunster]

The sadder part is that the reason why govt services are generally so poorly run is because they are run by governments.

That's an ideological perspective which numerous empirical studies have proven to be false.

The biggest creators or red tape and compliance are the private sector not governments.

Joe Hockey found this out the hard way when he commissioned a report into productivity in Australia using Deloitte [Chris Richardson and friends].

The report was released at the end of October 2014 and anyone wanting to register at http://www2.deloitte.com/au/en/pages...r-own-way.html can have a good laugh at neo-liberal ideology chocking itself to death.

by laying down the law – imposing rules on ourselves – in areas as diverse as human resources (HR), information technology (IT), finance, legal, marketing and executive governance.

The time required for employees to comply with self-imposed rules has become a crippling burden. Middle managers and senior executives are chalking up 8.9 hours a week complying with the rules corporates set for themselves, with other staff spending 6.4 hours.

Estimates suggest that reducing this self imposed compliance would add around 1.6% to GDP.

The biggest problem with neo-liberals in general is that they build models based on ideological assumptions rather than facts and then wonder why they tie themselves in knots.
