I’ve seen massive waste in private business. Incredible amounts of it. Somehow these companies don’t collapse.
Sometimes I think the only real difference is it’s easier to sell stuff to upper management than it is to a congresscritter. Easier for one person to waste a lot of money than it is for a committee to do it.

How does this square with congressional pork like the SLS[1], or buying tanks that the army doesn't want[2]?
