In pg 67 of Fiorina's book Rising to the Challenge, published this year, Fiorina speaks of the illogic of how government works as opposed to how private business works:
Imagine a business... that asks for and [always] receives more money each year... now imagine that this same business has no metrics for performance... [no] penalties for nonperformance. This business has no competitors and the customers... have no choices. [F]inally, imagine a business that cannot tell investors where their money is going or how it is being spent. As taxpayers and citizens... we are both investors in governemnt and customers of it.
Outside of government, no investor or customer would tolerate such a situation. They would demand accountability, transparency and performance--and so should we.
