I think anyone who pays the least bit of attention can find many, many examples of individuals who find spectacularly unwise ways to spend their money. Check out the Darwin awards some day! Good for a dark bit of himor and a very practical reminder that there are many folks out there who haven't the sense that God gave geese!
And, there are some things the government does well. Highways, universal public education, public libraries, as well as public health initiaitves such as sewage and sanitation, clean water, safe foods, etc. Indeed, a great deal of the improved quality and length of life we enjoy today result from these same public health initiatives. Is government perfect? Of course not (no human system is or ever will be), but certainly some very valuable outcomes.
