You guys have not answered the question of how govt. actually "wastes" these dollars, where do they go?
I thought Steve answered it quite well. It's a matter of economic impact. I think you are assuming the "money pie" is static and hence the same amount of dollars just keep trading hands. This is very untrue, a dollar spent in the private sector can lead to the creation of new wealth and even new markets altogether. A dollar spent on the government red tape creates nothing.
