It looks obvious

Beside of the obvious ridiculous believes about the abilities of a President, any President, to really solve her economical problems, I was pretty impress with this short clip:

We are in, comparatively, very good place when our poor own a car and a house. For many countries house and a car, will be considered luxury.

Reading this story I could not wondering what is the justification for handing more responsibilities to an organization that has track record of failing on much simpler tasks? Would you let a company running crucial parts of your business if you knew that the failed constantly when handed less complicated responsibilities?

Year after year, decade upon decade, the U.S. Senate’s network of restaurants has lost staggering amounts of money — more than $18 million since 1993, according to one report, and an estimated $2 million this year alone, according to another.

The financial condition of the world’s most exclusive dining hall and its affiliated Capitol Hill restaurants, cafeterias and coffee shops has become so dire that, without a $250,000 subsidy from taxpayers, the Senate won’t make payroll next month.

The Senate decision to privatize the restaurants is a good decision, now it just need to recover from the illusion that it can better handle other affairs and leave our general welfare out of its inefficient hands.

Why should it be any different when the incentives are so extremely obvious:

What are people who receive FEMA assistance doing to help themselves? That’s the question NBC 15’s Andrea Ramey asked those who have been staying for free in hotel rooms after they moved out of FEMA supplied travel trailers. What she found out is there are some who are doing very little.

The scorching heat puts many at the Quality Inn poolside, but for Gwenester Malone, she chooses to beat the heat by setting her thermostat to sixty degrees. Malone’s room for the past three months, along with three meals daily, have all been paid for by taxpayers.

[...]

Malone says she can’t drive and it’s too hot outside to find work within walking distance. “Since the storm, I haven’t had any energy or pep to go get a job, but when push comes to shove, I will,” said Malone.

[...]

As for Malone, she says she’s not seeing any drug activity at her hotel. It’s too nice she says. Why would she want to leave?

FEMA has not been able to provide the exact totals as to how much all the meals and hotel rooms are costing taxpayers, but FEMA has said repeatedly it works with people continuously to find permanent housing, and it will not leave anyone homeless.

This isn’t another case of bad management that can be solved by simply improve the process. It is the process itself that increase dependency and lack of self reliance.
