Should we have a Power 4 Government to stop the crazy spending especially on TRIPS and other such nonsense?
in times of recession our government officials should not travel anywhere, we have phones and email and videoconferencing now, there is no need to go to the Bahamas to discuss policies
Absolutely not. If you've ever worked for a company, you know that every time the counters are given the power, things get worse, not better. Accountants have a terrible habit of trying to shape reality to make their math easier, instead of doing the actual calculations to account of reality. And while many important conversations can and do happen over phone / Internet, any salesperson will tell you to never underestimate the value of time real face. There is a reason for every industry in our country has major conferences each year, there is still value in a handshake.
