Any government never event, and I deduct from the taxes I send in. It will have to come out of your paycheck. For example, by total incompetence, and terrorist lover forbearance of government lawyers, the incompetent government worker allowed 9/11 to destroy $7 trillions of economic value. That has to come from the pay of government workers. Anonymous: I hope you are a government worker. Any government never event, and I deduct from the taxes I send in.

Who says you have to be perfect? Nobody expects that the "never" events will never happen. What we'd all like to see is a decrease in their frequency. If you think there's too much money tied to this particular set of incentives, fine...talk about the money. But to attack these incentives based on some notion that perfection is expected is a specious argument. This whole line of reasoning is silly. Who says you have to be perfect?
