2.”After federal marshals seize drug dealers’ homes, they are allowed to sell them and use the money to help finance the war on drugs. To sell the houses, they must keep them presentable, which includes keeping the lawns mowed. In Atlanta, most organizations would hire neighborhood teenagers to mow a lawn for $ 10. But procurement regulations require the U-S. Marshal Service to bid out all work competitively, and neighborhood teenagers don’t compete for contracts. So the federal government pays $ 40 a lawn to professional landscape firms. Regulations designed to save money waste it, because they take decisions out of the hands of those responsible for doing the work. And taxpayers lose $ 30 for every lawn mowed.”
