[Vision2020] Economist Rankings of the World's Greatest

[Kai Eiselein, Editor]

I don't know about today, with the "Quest cards" and all, but there used to 
be a thriving black market for paper food stamps.
Recipients would simply sell their stamps for about half of the face value, 
allowing them to purchase booze, drugs smokes... whatever their vice was.
Government programs cannot and will not ever be as efficient as private 
programs for the simple fact that the government has no motivation to do 
anything efficiently, after all it can just keep sucking money from the 
average working American.
