#1 More like 'Snowflake' government. For some, it is 'better'. In the dark old days, merit and skill were considered 'better'. However, the tags of efficient, effective, and affordable are not of any priority in the new definition of 'good'.

#2 As long as the goals are published and the success/failure reported quarterly.

We'll need another bureaucracy to do the reporting, of course, put they'll have to have the same diversity as the stated overall goal. How will failure to meet the goal be punished? If we achieve 110% of the goal, who gets a bonus? Why would exceeding the goal be rewarded? How often should the goals be re-evaluated, and on what basis?

All that sounds pretty complicated, so we'll just go for "more". Then it never ends.

No, it produces precisely the mess we in the States are in right now: a government that is incompetent, stupid and corrupt. Don't emulate us.

#7 IIRR Discrimating against certain groups produces better government was also the claim of the KKK?
