Tell Me Why the Government Does That?

Create a site that explains why we do things that on the surface seem inefficient. There are a number of suggestions that don't take into account the laws and policies that require the government to ensure a level of fairness in competition, to provide oversight and ensure compliance with regulations and standards, and vary based on authorities and mission.

The government is not like a business and we have inefficiences that are built in. If we know why, we can make better assessments of when a practice or program is really inefficient.

  1. Why not Wikipedia? The people at each agency could type it up themselves. Before someone raises the specter of pre-release review, why not start with documents we already know are available to the public. Just because the public can obtain them to read doesn't mean they have.
