34. Having worked as a consultant for both huge corporations and huge

governments I've seen incredible waste in both places. The only criteria I've seen that gives any real indication is the cost of bureaucracy; Government = < 10% (commonly 2% - 4%), Private corps = > 24% (frequently rising into the 40's).
Add to that the fact that government agencies have rules and regs that are adhered to much more closely than the few that corporations operate under, and regularly ignore with no consequences. Again I, reluctantly, give the nod to government.
