    Michael Sandel’s comment drives home the fact that Negative externalities ALWAYS result from less than 100% agreement on spending for the public good.

    Frankly, it is the old “two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner..”

    Efficiency does not equal morality.

    Thanks for the post.
