There needs to be some incentive to succeed.You do realize that's an urban legend, right? Members of Congress pay an annual fee to belong to an HMO that covers them only while they are in Washington. For coverage outside of Washington and for their families, they must go the same route as the "average American".They are expected to produce a profit economically in terms of taxation.So we should never upgrade our equipment to more economical technology until the old piece completely dies?The government is meant to be inefficient. An efficient government would be a nightmare. Think about it.</blockquote>
