All you have to do is look at the government's record on spending management. The government does not have risk of losing, as only tax payers have skin in the game. Everyone focuses on corporate greed and forgets that there is also government greed, in which so called "public servants" are isolated by bureaucracy and power, with no motivation to be efficient.
