Those who believe this are unfazed by the corruption and waste that characterizes much private-sector spending. And they prefer the total waste of letting millions of people sit idle (Brock reckons that 16% of the American workforce is unemployed, underemployed, or too discouraged to seek work) to the possibly partial waste of programs that put them to work, nurture their skills, and equip the country with assets.
持这种观点的人对于私人部门支出的腐败和浪费视而不见。他们宁可让数百万人整天无所事事（布洛克认为，美国16%的劳动力处于失业和半失业状态，或者已经失去了找工作的动力），也不愿看见那些能让他们重新工作、能培养他们的技能、能用资产武装国家的项目。他们宁可出现全局浪费，也不愿看见局部浪费。
