Hound:

You have to live the life of starting a business it to really understand it and given your career in public service I can understand your inability to get it. I am also not surprised you had to spend all those years listening to businesses complain about the government regulations, etc. But I doubt you ever really listened. You see, the vast majority of our gross domestic product comes from private enterprise, and not from the government. I do very little government work because the cost of acquisition is too high, the regulatory requirements that come along with it are too expensive (i.e., Davis-Bacon for one), government is all about low bid while they place all sorts of requirements on you that doubles or triples the cost.

As for your comment about the 10 people losing their jobs, these are 10 people with 10 families. People with children in school, mortgages and all the things that come along with that. Why would you criticize me for making the decision to hold onto these jobs? And I am sorry, but your lack of experience in the business world is really showing when you suggest that I negotiate these jobs in the transaction. That is not something that a buyer is going to be interested in and as a buyer myself, I would laugh at someone that asked me to do that. It obviously is not the only parameter in my decision to slog on but it is a big one. I don't think I should have to apologize for taking that factor into consideration.
