 | | | Re: [Uncle]SamKnows... Their only real "feature" is easy implementation. I do, however, differentiate between "overly expensive" and "over-priced" (meaning, I don't exactly disagree with you), so even with a $50 coupon I'd consider the $150 Plus model to still be over-priced. | |

| | | Re: [Uncle]SamKnows... I get things done "cheaply" all the time. Of course, I don't work for the government; I used to, though... I guess we were more efficient back then--less "wasteful". | |

| Re: [Uncle]SamKnows... Yes the government does not do efficient things like mergers and acquisitions of companies that have no reason to go together: Sprint/Nextel, AOL/TimeWarner, or Chrysler/Gulfstream. Nor do we do things like good very long range planning. Say the planning for full fiberoptic buildout of all networks vs. making Verizon shareholders happy over 2 years by not building out ALL networks. You would not want to make 10 times as much 20 years in the future. That would be more "wasteful". | |

Land O Lakes, FL | Re: [Uncle]SamKnows... With the acquisition of interests in AIG, GM, Chrysler, student loans and health care, I would say they do things like non government entities just not efficiently.
There is a difference when those running a company have to please investors instead of pissing off tax payers. | |
