Question
Agree or disagree and comment as necessary to explain the "why" of your answer: --It's not enough to create a government agency (EPA, OSHA, FDA etc.) to deal with negative externalities. If the agencies are underfunded the externalities still exist. --The recently revealed National Security Agency surveillance program is surely a public good; it's part of the national defense effort and, in that regard, is no different than planes or tanks or warships. --Capital budgets are straightforward affairs; they are based heavily on data and mathematical calculations, so there is little room for human bias to creep into the process.Agree or disagree and comment as necessary to explain the "why" of your answer: --It's not enough to create a government agency (EPA, OSHA, FDA etc.) to deal with negative externalities.
