Edison Thought of Government In Any Business "There Is far more danger in public monopoly than there is in private monopoly, for when the government goes into business it can always shift its losses to the taxpayers. If it goes into the power business it can pretend to sell cheap power and then cover up its losses. "The government never really goes into business, for it never makes ends meet.

And that is the first requisite of business. It just mixes a little business with a lot of politics and no one ever gets a chance to find out what is actually going on. I feel so strongly on the government keeping out of business that if I had my way all the government should have is an efficient inspection bureau." A.
