Quote by Will Rogers

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for

Summary

This quote suggests that if we were to receive the full value of what we pay for in government services, it may not be a positive outcome. It implies that the government may not always be efficient or effective at providing services with the tax dollars it receives. Thus, it is fortunate that we do not necessarily receive an equivalent return on our investment, as this might imply a wasteful or ineffective use of resources.
